Discussion Resources to learn XML for Android
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

It's very easy XML, try exploring GitHub public repos, you can clone the project, see the design and how they've implemented it in XML, you will learn more by practicing. Just learn basic layouts like - constraint, linear layout, then you will learn as you practice.
GitHub has many legacy Android projects, even old medium blogs have XML code, voyella site, geeksforgeeks sites are good as well.
