I am trying XML parsing with XML Pull Parser. But I am getting only data for nametitle & name only. For rest of data I am getting Exception. Below I am posting my code.
Main Activity
public class PullParsingActivity extends Activity

private static final String urL =
"https://dl.dropbox.com/u/85981610/user.xml";
Button parseData;
private final String TAG = "PARSED DATA";
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
parseData = (Button)findViewById(R.id.parseData);
parseData.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(View v)
{
try
{
URL url = new URL(urL);
url.openConnection();
PullParser pullParser = new PullParser();
pullParser.parse(url.openStream());
}//try
catch (MalformedURLException e)
