    @AlgoRythm The only difference between XAML and Android's XML layout format is that XAML has a name and Android's layouts don't. But they're both XML-based languages to describe app layout. Commented Mar 16, 2024 at 19:40

    @AlgoRythm: I am under the impression you had a pretty huge misunderstanding what XML is, and your respond to Basilevs shows me you insist on your misunderstanding. Sorry, but when you ask a question here, you better expect to learn from it that some of your assumptions might be wrong. Commented Mar 17, 2024 at 14:52
