You can just use the normal Java DOM stuff.

For instance to retrieve the value of the Transaction attribute from the given link:

DocumentBuilder builder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance()
                                   .newDocumentBuilder();
String urlStr = "http://simplyappointments.com/businessinfoxml.php"+
                   "[email protected]";

InputStream inputStream = new URL(urlStr).openStream();
InputSource inputSource = new InputSource(inputStream);
Document doc = builder.parse(inputSource);
Element element = (Element) doc.getElementsByTagName("businessinfo").item(0);
return element.getAttribute("Transaction");

If you must retrieve an XML document through the network make sure you have <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> in your Android manifest.
