Do you mean the underlying structure of xibs and storyboards? I don't think this is something anyone looks at willingly, much less actually work with.
- leviathan 10y agoI think the parent is talking about android views. which are XML documents and almost everyone writes the XML instead of mucking about with the visual editor.
- yoz-y 10y agoI think this is mostly due to the lacking visual editor rather than virtues of the underlying XML format.
- pawadu 10y agoSeriously? In a thread about Android Studio of all places?? https://developer.android.com/studio/write/layout-editor.html https://developer.android.com/studio/write/layout-editor.htm...
- yoz-y 10y agoI was using Android studio from beta until the early 2.x series. It has been some time but there were indeed many cases in which I had to go dig in the XML representation of the UI file. I do hope and believe it is getting better.
- spacehunt 10y agoThe parent seems to be talking about the Android layout XML, which is a much saner format than xibs and is actually quite nice to work with by hand.
