random node from an xml file

[matthew.parse]

Hello

I'm a beginner

how do i parse an xml document, and choose a random node from within it?

the xml file is as follows

<root>
<activity>
<activity>Running</activity>
</activity>
<activity>
<activity>Swimming</activity>
</activity>
<activity>
<activity>Football</activity>
</activity>
<activity>
<activity>Driving</activity>
</activity>
<activity>
<activity>At Work</activity>
</activity>
</root>

and i would like to be able to go through it, and choose a random node from it

i have gone all over google looking for similar examples "dom parser java random node" all those key words etc, but i'm stumped

any advice you guys can offer will be greatly appreciated
