Parsing XML File stored in raw folder using XPath

Following code demonstrates how to parse XML file stored in res/raw folder using XPath

Save following file in res – raw folder as data.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sample>
    <info>
        <title>Using XPath to parse XML</title>
        <author>Pete Houston</author>

			NetworkInfo ni = cm.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI);
			String s = "Available : " + ni.isAvailable() + "Connected : " + ni.isConnected();
			Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), s, 100).show();

                        ni = cm.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE);
			s = "Available : " + ni.isAvailable() + "Connected : " + ni.isConnected();
			Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), s, 100).show();

		}	
		catch(Exception e)
