Reading XML from internet in android

Question

how can i retrieve all the value from xml from internet using android. I have found one good tutorial and implemented it http://www.anddev.org/novice-tutorials-f8/parsing-xml-from-the-net-using-the-saxparser-t353.html, but i only able to retrieve the last item of my xml :( I want to show the result in simple ListView

This is my xml file that i host in internet http://www.rahmanrahim.com/webservicekos/allkos (sorry i can't post it properly )

this is my MainActivity.java

package com.example.cobaxmlparser;

    ListView view = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.view);

        //String cek = parsedExampleDataSet.toString(x);

}

and the last the ParsedExampleDataSet.java

public class ParsedExampleDataSet

public String getId_kos() {

}
public String getNama() {
return nama;
}
public void setNama(String nama) {
    this.nama = nama;
}


public String getAlamat() {
return alamat;
}
public void setAlamat(String alamat) {
this.alamat = alamat;
}
public String getLatitude() {
return latitude;
}
public void setLatitude(String latitude) {
    this.latitude = latitude;
}


public String getLongitude() {
    return longitude;
}


public void setLongitude(String longitude) {
    this.longitude = longitude;
}


public String getHarga() {
    return harga;
}


public void setHarga(String harga) {
    this.harga = harga;
}


public String getTampakdepan() {
    return tampakdepan;
}


public void setTampakdepan(String tampakdepan) {
    this.tampakdepan = tampakdepan;
}


public String getStreetview() {
    return streetview;
}


public void setStreetview(String streetview) {
    this.streetview = streetview;
}

public String toString(){


    return "id_kos "+this.id_kos+" nama "+this.nama+" alamat "+this.alamat+" latitude "+this.latitude+" longitude "+this.longitude+" harga "+this.harga+" tampak depan "+this.tampakdepan+" street view "+this.streetview;
}

}

from the code above i only able to get the last item Any help would really great. I am new to android and sorry for my bad english. Thanks

[Tamilan] Thank you so much for your answer, i have tried it but i get error and my app force close, in the logcat there java.lang.NullPointerException,at com.example.cobaxmlparser.MainActivity$XmlParsing.onPostExecute(MainActivity.java:193)
it is solved already.. Big thanks to you @Tamilan. i only change the netactivity with mainactivity :p. once again, big thanks to you :D
i already accept but can't upvote. my reputation is not high enough to upvote.. Thank you

You are running network related operation on the ui thread.

Move

HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();

to a thread or AsyncTask

To parse xml use XmlPullParser. There is example in the below link.
