getting a single xml node - android dev

Question

Hi guys I'm newbie to android development and I need some help...

I want to make an app that will use data from an xml database and there are two points where I need help cause I find java with xml too complicate...

eg.

<items>
<1><name>box</name><price>2.00</price></1>
<2><name>pencil</name><price>1.00</price></1>
</items>

1)get a single xml value from a child node(eg.name of 1st item - "box") 2)get an xml database from child nodes (to use it as data source for a listbox) - this one is not nessesary

Thank you for your time guys...
