The qualified name of the element.

The attributes for the start element. This value will be null for end elements.

empty

public boolean empty

True if this element is an empty element, for example <root/>.

Note: The pull parser will always report both a start and end element event for empty elements. This allows applications to deal with elements in a consistent manner. However, both the start and end element event objects of an empty element will have the empty field set to true.
