Just parse it as you parse XML. Here's my take on it. Hope this help: https://gist.github.com/3163006

Well, you can read and scan external memory for all file with .kml at the end but that's gonna be slow tho. Unless you can fix directory in which your KML files to be stored then just read that directory and you are done. Like this: File dir =new File(android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),"myKmlDirectory"); Just dont forget to add permission to manifest file.

Read External storage permission is added in JellyBean(Android 4.1)

the code in the link that u provided for me >> there is no On create method >> where should I start ?/

GetNavigationDataSet(String url) method. Mine was set up to parse from URL but I guess you could take xr.parse(new InputSource(aUrl.openStream())); line and change aUrl.openStream() to the InputStream of the File you want to open.
