Method

StringgetAttributeByName(XmlPullParser xpp, String name)
Returns the XML attribute by name, not as fast as using attribute indexes but much more durable in case of future api changes 
for (int i = 0; i < xpp.getAttributeCount(); i++)
    if (name.equalsIgnoreCase(xpp.getAttributeName(i)))
        return xpp.getAttributeValue(i);
return null;
StringgetAttributeValue(XmlPullParser pp, String name)
Return value of attribute with given name and no namespace. 
return pp.getAttributeValue(XmlPullParser.NO_NAMESPACE, name);
StringgetAttributeValue(XmlPullParser pp, String name)
Return value of attribute with given name and no namespace. 
return pp.getAttributeValue(XmlPullParser.NO_NAMESPACE, name);
MapgetAttributes( XmlPullParser pullParser)
get Attributes 
Map<String, String> attributes = new HashMap<String, String>(
        pullParser.getAttributeCount());
for (int i = 0; i < pullParser.getAttributeCount(); i++) {
    attributes.put(pullParser.getAttributeName(i),
            pullParser.getAttributeValue(i));
return attributes;
MapgetAttributes( XmlPullParser pullParser, String namespace, String elementName, String attributeName, String attributeValue)
get Attributes 
Map<String, String> attributes = null;
