Yes, that's a completely different question than getting data from res/
values/strings.xml -- even though they look like the same thing!

It's also an easy question you would have answered yourself, were you
not expecting there to be an event! A reasonable idea, but incorrect,
and that's what's confusing you.

There is not a separate event for attributes. You get attributes when
you process the START_TAG event.

See the XmlPullParser.getAttributeCount() method,  and the
XmlPullParser.getAttributeXXX(int), family of methods.
