Kxml: kxml NewBie question

Hi ,

I am using kxml 2 for parsing a incoming stream of xml data. I want to check
for a particular presence, The code
snippet from the application is ,

   case XmlPullParser.START_TAG :
    startTag();
    break;

   case XmlPullParser.END_TAG :
    serializer.endTag(parser.getNamespace(), parser.getName());
    break;

   case XmlPullParser.IGNORABLE_WHITESPACE :
    break;

   case XmlPullParser.TEXT :
    String value = (parser.getText().trim());
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------
    if (tagElement.equalsIgnoreCase("TransactionContent")) { <----- this is
not working ?? can anyone correct me?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------

     System.out.println("found");
    }
     serializer.text(tagElement + "=" + parser.getText());
     break;

   case XmlPullParser.ENTITY_REF :
    serializer.entityRef(parser.getName());
    break;

   case XmlPullParser.CDSECT :
    serializer.cdsect(parser.getText());
    break;


public void startTag() throws XmlPullParserException, IOException {

    serializer.startTag(parser.getNamespace(), parser.getName());

tagElement = (parser.getName()).trim();

}
