Our XmlReader-based mapping will be available *after* the next release. Though there are things to note; we cannot provide features that Android does not provide. For example, I noticed that GetLayout() returns an XmlResourceParser implementation that does not support lots of namespace processing methods (getPrefix(), getAttributePrefix(), getNamespace(int) etc.), while getFeature() with relevant flag returns true (funny? yep).
I hope this will help in the (near) future.
