Android: How to get or read XML from URL to String

Question

how to read XML and then convert/transform it to variable String, I have try with Jsop library, but not success, with JSoup I get html format.

I want to read link in below to String: http://bowingdown.wordpress.com/feed/

And then put it to String, I want to as below, example;

String data = "<rss xmlns:content=blablabla><channel>blablbabla</channel></rss>";

And i have read in here HTTP request for XML file, but not success.

Thanks for help.

Why do you want to store the XML in one single String? Thats kinda bad, in my opinion. String uses 2 bytes per character, and I guess that RSS feed will keep growing. What do you try to succeced here? — Tobias Moe Thorstensen

I want to parsing with XmlPullParser, but before parsing it must be read with Class StringReader. — Dave Jackson

Use xml parsing techniques such as XmlPullParser ,SAX parser or DOM parser.

XML Pull parser is the parser recommended in the developer's site of android Here is a tutorial for Pull parser .
