[Q] How do I filter a retrieve data in Spinner?

I'm new to android,stuck in this part of my code.
I do hope, someone would help me with it.
As ,I've stuck for quite a while and have to complete within 2 days,

If I would like to filter in spinner based on the dates, how should I do it? For example,

I've a list of events, and in my spinner
when I select "Today", it will show out the list for today.

I've tried out the coding, however, I met some error. The part in BOLD, ** is having error.

I would like to get the XML data from here:




the highlighted part



here is my coding: AndroidXMLParsingActivity.java

public class AndroidXMLParsingActivity extends ListActivity implements OnItemSelectedListener {

String[] browseby;

String[] dates = { "Today", "Tomorrow", "Next Week",

};

ArrayList<String> browse = new ArrayList<String>();
ArrayList<String> mPostingData = new ArrayList<String>();
Spinner s1;
ListView listview;
CustomAdapter cus;

// All static variables
static final String URL = " URL ";
// XML node keys
static final String KEY_EVENT = "event"; // parent node
static final String KEY_TITLE = "title";
static final String KEY_START_TIME = "start_time";


@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> menuItems = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();

XMLParser parser = new XMLParser();
String xml = parser.getXmlFromUrl(URL); // getting XML
Document doc = parser.getDomElement(xml); // getting DOM element

NodeList nl = doc.getElementsByTagName(KEY_EVENT);
// looping through all item nodes <item>
for (int i = 0; i < nl.getLength(); i++) {
// creating new HashMap
HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
Element e = (Element) nl.item(i);
// adding each child node to HashMap key => value
map.put(KEY_TITLE, parser.getValue(e, KEY_TITLE));


map.put(KEY_START_TIME, parser.getValue(e, KEY_START_TIME));

// adding HashList to ArrayList
menuItems.add(map);
}

// Adding menuItems to ListView
ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(this, menuItems,
R.layout.list_item, new String[] { KEY_TITLE,KEY_START_TIME }, new int[] {
R.id.title,
R.id.startTime });

setListAdapter(adapter);

// selecting single ListView item
ListView lv = getListView();

lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int position, long id) {
// getting values from selected ListItem
String title = ((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.title))
.getText().toString();


// Starting new intent
Intent in = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),
SingleMenuItemActivity.class);
in.putExtra(KEY_TITLE, title);


startActivity(in);

}
});

// Get the ViewHolder back to get fast access to the TextView
// and the ImageView.

}
if (mPostingData.size() > 0)
vh.t1.setText(mPostingData.get(position));
return convertView;

static class ViewHolder {
TextView t1;

Can anyone help me with it?
your help will be appreciated.

Hi,
I would want to retrieve the event title from a certain URL
It will be filter by the tag as <start_time> in the URL.
For my spinner, there will be "today","tomorrow","this week"
By selecting on "today", it will give me the list of event according to the date filter.
For example:
Today, it will filter out "today" event
Tomorrow, it will filter out "tomorrow" event
