Welcome to Android Forums!

It sounds like you are working with the Android SDK, Perhaps one of the developers here will be able to answer your question over in the Developer's section.

Welcome to the AndroidForums, tituskamau!

Been a while since I've played with the SDK's emulator (its just too slow...I prefer pushing things directly to my phone). Here's what I would do:

1. Launch the emulator
2. After it (finally) finishes booting/starting-up, press the app drawer sash at the bottom of the screen
3. Select "Dev Tools"
4. Scroll down to the "Terminal Emulator" app
5. In the Terminal Emualator, you'll be presented with a mini Linux window's shell prompt, navigate to the directory containing your .xml file and use view it with the cat command, etc.:

cd /sdcard
ls -a -l testfile.xml
cat testfile.xml

Hope that helps.

Cheers!
