How can I parse my local XML file located in my android project (inside res/XML folder) and want to get the values in that file.

Android DOM(Document Object Model) parser is a program that parses an XML document and extracts the required information from it. This parser uses an object-based approach for creating and parsing the XML files. In General, a DOM parser loads the XML file into the Android memory to parse the XML document.
You can parse the XML file using XPath expression, you can do XSL transformation, XSD schema validation and you can even parse whole XML file as String in just a couple of lines of code.
Android provides three types of XML parsers which are DOM,SAX and XMLPullParser. Among all of them android recommend XMLPullParser because it is efficient and easy to use.
To access XML resources stored in res/xml, call getResources().getXml() from any Activity or other Context. You need to supply to getXml() the ID of the XML to load (R.xml.myfile).

to read your xml add code as shown below
XmlResourceParser myxml = mContext.getResources().getXml(R.xml.MyXml);
//MyXml.xml is name of our xml in newly created xml folder, mContext is the current context
// Alternatively use: XmlResourceParser myxml = getContext().getResources().getXml(R.xml.MyXml);
myxml.next();//Get next parse event
int eventType = myxml.getEventType(); //Get current xml event i.e., START_DOCUMENT etc.
and to get content of code add code shown below
