android xml webservice,Android and .NET Webservice - parsing the returned xml

So I have done a few "minor" things with web services and had some success, but when I attempted to tinker around with some stuff for fun I was encountering what I believe is me incorrectly parsing out the data to get the information that I need. I can get the entire xml as a string but not just the 3 programs that I need. The getPrograms and getInstitutions are similar enough that if I can get the programs part parsed right I can get the institutions. Where I am getting confused is what I believe is the "tags" and how much they differ from any tutorials to what I am actually using. I also went the way of the XmlPullParser but do not know if this is the best way about doing this (is it?). The format of what I am accessing is as follows:

Ancillary

Ancillary ESY

REAP

And my source code is as follows:

public class FirstScreen extends Activity {

/** Called when the activity is first created. */

private static final String NAMESPACE = "http://tempuri.org/";

private static final String URL = "http://www.ces.org/android/android.asmx";//must point to where service is located

/** HelloAndroid method */

//SOAP_ACTION = NAMESPACE + METHODNAME

private static final String SOAP_ACTION = "http://tempuri.org/HelloAndroid";

private static final String METHOD_NAME = "HelloAndroid";

/** SelectInstitutionTypes method */

//SOAP_ACTION = NAMESPACE + METHODNAME

private static final String SOAP_ACTION_INSTITUTIONS = "http://tempuri.org/SelectInstitutionTypes";

private static final String METHOD_NAME_INSTITUTIONS = "SelectInstitutionTypes";

/** SelectPrograms method */

//SOAP_ACTION = NAMESPACE + METHODNAME

private static final String SOAP_ACTION_PROGRAMS = "http://tempuri.org/SelectPrograms";

private static final String METHOD_NAME_PROGRAMS = "SelectPrograms";
