static final String KEY_ID = "id";
static final String KEY_TITLE = "title";
static final String KEY_ARTIST = "artist";
static final String KEY_DURATION = "duration";
static final String KEY_THUMB_URL = "thumb_url";

How should we know how your parser looks like? What Kind of parser are you using? Pull - SAX or DOM parser? — Ahmad

In the xml file add a tag

<video>YOUR CONTENT HERE</video>

under every

<title>

tag. If you are using the androidhive.com's xml file you will need to download it and then modify it using a program like Notepad++ and the upload it onto a server like the public folder in dropbox, or a FTP server or even local host on your computer.

Changes in JAVA Class

Add KEY_VIDEO under the other String Variables (KEY_ARTIST, KEY_TITLE, etc)
Add map.put(KEY_VIDEO, parser.getValue(e, KEY_VIDEO));

*If you require it to be displayed in the list view open the lazy adapter and add this:

TextView video = (TextView)vi.findViewById(R.id.video); <----- You need to add a text view with this id in the layout (R.layout.listrow)
video.setText(song.get(CustomizedListView.KEY_VIDEO));

EDIT

I misunderstood, disregard the above

if you are adding another

<video>

tag like the

<music>

tag all you have to do is change this one line.

NodeList nl = doc.getElementsByTagName(KEY_VIDEO);

How are you going to know wether to parse songs or videos?

SquiresSquire Over a year ago

Probably something like if {CODE HERE TO DETERMINE WHICH ONE TO USE} KEY_NODE = "song" else KEY_NODE = "video"
