How to count inner tags during parsing XML with XmlPullParser

I'm parsing layout file with XmlPullParser and I need to count inner tags to be able recognize children views. I found the method to count attributes for each tag, but cannot find how to count exactly tags.

I have code like this one:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <LinearLayout
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <Button
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="#0d3fff"
            android:text="New Button 1"
            android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
            android:id="@+id/btnDef1"/>

        <Button
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/btnDef2"/>

    </LinearLayout>

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:id="@+id/tv1"/>
</LinearLayout>

Anyone has ideas how to count children for tag LinearLayout? Thanks in advance.

I have no Idea why anyone would want to count tags from a Layout file. If you are inflating the layout use either the getChildCount method or use the following code to get count of child of LinearLayout

int childcount = ll.getChildCount();
for (int i=0; i < childcount; i++){
    View v = ll.getChildAt(i);
}

If you are inclined on using XMLPullparser, I dont think there is any direct method to count xml Tags. You have to go through each tag

    int count = 0;
    XmlPullParser xpp = factory.newPullParser();
    try {
        xpp.setInput(new InputStreamReader(is));

        int eventType = xpp.next();
        Project p = null;
        while(eventType != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) {
             count++;
             String tagName = xpp.getName();
             switch (eventType) {
                 case XmlPullParser.START_DOCUMENT:
                    break;
                // and other cases that you want to handle
             }
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
