need help building an xml editor

[birddseedd]

Hello, Im new to java but do understand the concepts and logic of object oriented programming.

My next project is an xml editor for my android. iv got eclipse up and running and have successfully compiled a hello android app and seen it working in the emulator.

what i want the app to do....

import a simple xml file (will have a different extension to start with)
read entries in the file and list them in the ui.
add and remove enteries
hand off the xml file (with original extension) to android for emailing.

i appreciate any help you can give as this will be my first java project.

Given the generalness of your questions, about all we can do is suggest that you hit the Java tutorials and some text books and come on back in the future if you have any specific and answerable questions. Luck.

Android has not just one but two XML parsers already built in to it ready to use, you can find the documentation for them here:
javax.xml.parsers | Android Developers
