Parsing XML node having different attribute value in Android

Question

I have following XML data,

<RESPONSE>
<param name="Type">NBFundTransfer</param>
<param name="Id">3213</param>
<param name="Token">26&ffr$5%877</param>
<param name="Stage">1</param>
</RESPONSE>

I want to fetch the node by its name.I use following method to fetch data,

NodeList nl = doc.getElementsByTagName("RESPONSE");
String[] Agreement = new String[nl.getLength()];
for (int i = 0; i < nl.getLength(); i++) {
    Node item = nl.item(i);
    if (item.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {
        Element ielem = (Element) item;
        NodeList id = ielem.getElementsByTagName("param");
        Data[i] = id.item(0).getChildNodes().item(0).getNodeValue();
    }
}

But the problem is, Iam only getting the data "NBFundTransfer" from first node which is names as "Type" .I want to fetch the data from all other nodes(Id,Token etc).Please someone help me to get a solution.Thank you..

you are parsing the wrong tag name, make it 'type' instead of 'param. — kumar_android

@BasimSherif : You're not iterating over your NodeList called id. You're only using id.item(0) — Squonk
