xml parsing using jsoup error

Question

I am stuck at parsing a xml file. I have the following code of an activity:

Document doc = Jsoup.parse(sb.toString(), "", Parser.xmlParser());

for (Element e : doc.select("Placemark")) {
    Log.d(TAG, "name is " + e.attr("name")+ "cordinates is" + e.attr("coordinates"));

I have this xml example:

<Placemark>
    <name>international route for military only</name>
    <styleUrl>#m_ylw-pushpin0</styleUrl>
    <LineString>
        <tessellate>1</tessellate>
        <coordinates>

        </coordinates>
    </LineString>
</Placemark>

I get the parsing correctly when I am printing the doc. But when I am trying to grab the name and coordinates of the placemark by accessing its attribute field, it gives me an empty string.

It seems when I use doc.select("Placemark"), it only takes the strings inside the tag and it ignores the tag itself.

Use e.select("name").text()

for (Element e : doc.select("Placemark")) { 
    Log.d(TAG, "name is " + e.select("name").text()+ "cordinates is" + e.select("coordinates").text()); 
}
