Remarks

Return an XmlResourceParser through which you can read a generic XML resource for the given resource ID.

The XmlPullParser implementation returned here has some limited functionality. In particular, you can't change its input, and only high-level parsing events are available (since the document was pre-parsed for you at build time, which involved merging text and stripping comments).
