Reading id and value for a Node in NSXMLParser - iphone

Question

I have an XML node like this:
<State id="1"> AA </State>
How can I read the value 'AA' ? I'm able to read the id value "1" using:
(void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName
namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qualifiedName
attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict { <br>
//Extract the attribute here.
aState.stateId = [[attributeDict objectForKey:#"id"] integerValue];
NSLog(#"Reading id value :%i", aState.stateId);
}
NSLog(#"Processing Element: %#", elementName);
}
But not able to read the value

As far as i remember, to do this you should implement this method
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser foundCharacters:(NSString *)string
Entire code will look like this:
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qualifiedName attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict {
foundState = [elementName isEqualToString:#"State"];
}
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser foundCharacters:(NSString *)string {
if (foundState) {
[stringBuffer appendString:string];
}
}
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didEndElement:(NSString *)elementName
namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName {
if (foundState) {
NSLog(#"AA = %#", stringBuffer);
foundState = NO;
}
}
