Bus seat reservation management

Question

Currently I am getting this below XML data format from URL-

<Seat>
<ColumnNo>0</ColumnNo>
<Deck>2</Deck>
<Height>2</Height>
<IsAvailable>1</IsAvailable>
<RowNo>0</RowNo>
<SeatLabel>E</SeatLabel>
<Width>1</Width>
</Seat>

<Seat>
<ColumnNo>1</ColumnNo> 
<Deck>1</Deck> 
<Height>2</Height> 
<IsAvailable>1</IsAvailable> 
<RowNo>0</RowNo>
<SeatLabel>SL5</SeatLabel> 
<Width>1</Width>
</Seat>

<Seat>
<ColumnNo>2</ColumnNo> 
<Deck>1</Deck> 
<Height>1</Height> 
<IsAvailable>1</IsAvailable> 
<RowNo>0</RowNo>
<SeatLabel/> 
<Width>1</Width>
</Seat>


<Seat>
<ColumnNo>3</ColumnNo> 
<Deck>1</Deck> 
<Height>2</Height> 
<IsAvailable>1</IsAvailable> 
<RowNo>0</RowNo>
<SeatLabel>SL1</SeatLabel> 
<Width>1</Width>
</Seat>

And i have made image of layout the bus in which i want to make click on vacant seats and disable the seats in which available is 0( <IsAvailable>0</IsAvailable> )

I am confused as to how should I make the below layout and make then populate with the XML data which I am getting.

• How to make the seating layout.
• How to Populate seat with XML data and which on click will be transferred to next activity for further process.
• enable disable the seat on basis of its availability.

I am able to parse the data/values from XML in my code....I want that how to make the layout format and fit those XML values to particular seats.

Use Table Layout for designing. You can use this code for designing Refer this link

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <TableLayout
