Q: 

Is there an Android XML reference?

Hi,

I'm learning to develop applications for Android but I need to know the XML tags to get my programs to work. They are documented in the javadoc but I would prefer a quick reference.

EDIT: I was talking about the Android GUI XML-files, sorry that I didn't make this clear.

Hi,

You can browse the samples app there : http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/index.html

Or you can use the Android Eclipse Plugin that offers a graphical editor for the AndroidManifest.xml file. With this plugin, it's easy to import those samples into your workspace which can be handier to browse through. Just follow the explanations on the previous link.

HTH,

I don't think he was asking about the manifest.xml. I think he was asking about the xml files to define the UI.
