You should follow the tutorial that I posted on the duplicate of this question here: Parsed XML data not retrieving in android

Although that tutorial does not show getting attributes.

In short, your startElement should look something like this:

@Override
    public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName,
            Attributes attributes) throws SAXException {

          if(localName.equals("stuff")){
            String element=attributes.getValue("code");
            info.setData(element); //element will hold "firststuff" on the first execution

        }
    }

You will need a separate if for each name you are trying to match.

Xml files in general are referred to like this (using your naming convention):

textValue So the if statement above will handle the lines <..."secondstuff"> etc. but you will have to add more to handle each different line.

I strongly suggest you follow a tutorial to get this accomplished, although, you will definitely learn a lot through trial and error.
