java - Default Handler - fetch tag name -

i implementing default handler in android. xml doc looks -

<item>      <rating>1</rating>      <num>20</num> </item> 

i overriding characters method fetch tag values rating , num tags.

 public void characters(char ch[], int start, int length)   {       string value = new string(ch,start,length);  } 

but how can check if value belongs rating or num tag ?

example if string 'value' gets value (10 or b) how fetch tagname ie (rating or num) ?

thanks

string startname;  public void startelement(string uri, string localname, string qname, attributes attributes) throws saxexception { startname=qname; }  public void characters(char ch[], int start, int length)   {       //here check startname is.it can rating or num       string value = new string(ch,start,length);  }
