Question

Where are the schemas (DTD or XML schema) for the XML files used on Android like AndroidManifest.xml or the layouts?

Was it helpful?

Solution

The schemas don't exist as an xml file. Schemas are dependent upon what UI classes your program uses. There's a slightly better discussion here.

OTHER TIPS

Generally, defining a namespace in XML doesn't has to be a real existing URL but just a world wide unique String (therefore one prefers using their own URLs). Of course, it's nice if this URL contains the XML-schema (or worse, DTD). It would be also very nice if someone would create Android Ressource Schemata.

The XML schema doesn't seem to be documented, but there is a useful list of all the layout objects and their permitted attributes here:
