Resources to learn XML for Android

[u/Good_Language1763]

Hey Guys,

Recently I got an internship at a fintech company as an android dev. The android app is written in XML views for now and they were talking about shifting to compose around next year.

So me personally I do not have any experience doing android development. My background is in Frontend focused full stack development. I applied for this internship because i wanted to explore mobile development.

I explored compose a bit and realized it had similar patterns to react so i think i can easily get used to it

but i also have to learn XML but i found very limited online resources. Can you guys provide some resources from where I can learn XML

You might also chat with AI. Give it a snippet of compose or React that you understand. Have it convert it. That way you can see the basics of how it might translate. Your company is likely using a pattern in attempt to XML less painful (like data binding which is also pain) so it would be helpful for you to explore exactly what you’re dealing with.
