XmlPullParser preferred way of getting child nodes?

问题

What would be the preferred way of getting the child nodes of a XML string? There seems to be a lack of good examples of parsing with the XmlPullParser in android. For example if I would want to parse this:

<Point>
    <Id>81216</Id>
    <Name>Lund C</Name>
</Point>

I came up with a way that does the job:

List<Point> points = new ArrayList<Point>();
String id = null
name = null;

while (eventType != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) {
    if (eventType == XmlPullParser.START_TAG && xpp.getName().equals("Id")) {
        try {
            id = xpp.nextText();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
    else if (eventType == XmlPullParser.START_TAG && xpp.getName().equals("Name")) {
    try {
        name = xpp.nextText();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    else if(eventType == XmlPullParser.END_TAG && xpp.getName().equals("Point")) {
        Point point = new Point(id, name);
        points.add(point);
    }

    try {
        eventType = xpp.next();
    } catch (exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

for (Point p : points) {
    tv.append(p.getId() + " | " + p.getName() + "\n");
}

But it seems really ugly. Is there a better way of doing this?

A better way to deal with texts in XML, in my opinion, would be like it is explained here:

getText() wont generate Exceptions because you are inside an XmlPullParser.TEXT zone (so it is sure Text is there).

Hope it helps!
