Android XmlPullParser get value between tags

Question

I have something like this in XML:

<trkpt lat="-32.577000" lon="-71.443764">
            <ele>2.204529</ele>
            <time>2015-12-27T12:35:45Z</time>

I can get lat and lon with

XmlPullParser parser = factory.newPullParser(); parser.getAttributeValue(0); parser.getAttributeValue(1);

But how can I get the value stored between the "ele" tag?

you have to use getText() on the current element. From the documentation

Returns the text content of the current event as String.

Of course you have to move the parser to the correct element calling next (). From the documentation:

Get next parsing event

You're right, I just needed to check the tag using something like "if("ele".equals(Parser.getName()) and then use getText. Thank you.
