Manually pre-compile xml layout files and use them

android

Solution

try this:

- put your xml file into your resource folder (for example into res/xml)

- run your project

- go to bin folder of your project

- open youapplication.apk as zip-archive

- go to res/xml folder of your archive

- extract already compiled xml from that folder

- use extracted xml as your complied xml file

Problem

Is it possible to manually pre-compile a layout file, put it in a jar and use it? if possible how ? I'll explain: When using a apk packaging, the build process pre compile xml resources, for runtime optimization. Let's say, for example, I want to load xml files from a server, and load them to ui. I need to pre-compile them, and I prefer doing it on server side with the android sdk.
