var parentNodeLength = doc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName('string-array').length; for (var i = 0; i < parentNodeLength; i++) { var attrValue = doc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName('string-array').item(i).attributes.getNamedItem('name').nodeValue;

    if (attrValue === 'MainCategories') {

        var parentNode = doc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName('string-array').item(i);
        var subNodeLength = parentNode.getElementsByTagName('item').length;

        for (var j = 0; j &lt; subNodeLength; j++) {

            var title = parentNode.getElementsByTagName('item').item(j).text;
            var row = Ti.UI.createTableViewRow({
                height : 110
            });
            var label = Ti.UI.createLabel({
                height : Ti.UI.SIZE,
                width : Ti.UI.SIZE,
                text : title
            });

            row.add(label);
            result.push(row);
        }

var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({ backgroundColor : 'white' });

var result = [];

var fileName = 'test.xml'; //save xml file var tableView = Ti.UI.createTableView({ //data : result, width : '100%', height : '100%' });

//This function read the xml based on tag name passed function readXML(fileName) { var file = Ti.Filesystem.getFile(Ti.Filesystem.resourcesDirectory, fileName); var xmltext = file.read().text; var doc = Ti.XML.parseString(xmltext); //Get the length var length = doc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName('item').length;

for (var i = 0; i &lt; length; i++) {

    var title = doc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName('item').item(i).text;
    var row = Ti.UI.createTableViewRow({
         height:110
    });

var label= Ti.UI.createLabel({
    height:  Ti.UI.SIZE,
    width: Ti.UI.SIZE,
    text: title
    });

    row.add(label);     
    result.push(row);
}

}

readXML(fileName); tableView.setData(result); win.add(tableView); win.open();
