Android-XML-Editor

Editor for Android XML files in VSCode powered by TotalCross

  •   Docs   •   Videos   •   GUI for Embedded community   •   Source Code

Extension that interprets the XML file - transforming it into HTML - and displays it in a web view in VSCode, which is lighter than Android Studio and InteliJ. You can see the source code on GitHub.

🤘 Suggestion

• Download the TotalCross SDK Plugin for GUI construction;

✨ Features

• Read and XML file;
• Displaying the XML file in the webview;
• Real-time webview editing.

🚨 Requirements

• VS Code 1.47+;
• By default, the plugin looks for images and media (assets) in this src/main/res/drawable directory;
• As this is an alpha version, the plugin only supports content-layout.

NEW: Resources Path now user-configurable

• The assets location can now be configured at the user (all workspaces) or per-workspace level by using vscode File->Settings, and navigating to Android XML Editor within the extensions tab. The new path should be relative to the workspace root. VSCode workspace settings override any user setting.
• Example: A workspace opened at ~/src/android/helloWorld/ contains the default android project sub-directories. The workspace resources path setting would need to be app/src/main./res/drawable

👩‍💻 Using Android-XML-Editor plugin

1. Open your XML file on VSCode

2. Press F1 or cmd + shift + p and search for Android XML Editor: Open.

3. You can start making changes to your XML file and follow the result through the webview
