Probably the link text should be also in CDATA section, or have the & marks converted to &amp;

The &presentation_id... is considered as an (unresolved) XML entity.

Solution 1 (with CDATA):

But my parser works correctly in other android Version . Only problem with Android 2.1 – edwin Mar 5 '13 at 12:26

You can try a different parser, there may be differences between them. Actually, the 2.1 parser is correct: it its not a valid XML. It seems that later the parser was extended to be more lean, that's why this example is working on 2.2+ versions. So, the correct way is to change the server output. – GaborSch Mar 5 '13 at 12:42
