Second beta release - 0.8.1 Written by David Iserovich
Decision of distribution license pending, meanwhile you are free to use the code if you attribute credit.
The map editor Tiled (link) produce files in an XML-based format called .tmx.
This library and its classes allow the loading of TMX files into a TileMapData object, and allow the creating of an Android Bitmap based on said TileMapData object.
TMXLoader/src/davidiserovich/TMXLoader/ contains the main source files.
TMXLoader/assets/ contains an example TMX file and its tileset image.
Both directories are regular Eclipse Android projects, and can be imported.
The main activity in TMXLoaderExample is called TMXLoaderActivity, and uses the TileMapData object and a Canvas to create a Bitmap containing the arrangment of tiles that the TMX specifies.
