Supposing you have the XML string stored in String str, one lazy and simple way to retrieve the URL (if you always expect the same input text format) could be:
String url = str.split("\"")[1];

Some times, as a quick "one time solution" you can use regular expressions.
String xml="<media:thumbnail url=\"http:// mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/ mes1-300x186.png\" width=\"320\" length=\"125399\" type=\"image/jpg\"/>";
Pattern pattern=Pattern.compile("url\\s*=\\s*\\\"(.*?)\\\"");
Matcher m=pattern.matcher(xml);
if(m.find()){
String urlValue=m.group(1);
System.out.println(urlValue);
}
