What is Android XML?
- XML stands for Extensible Markup Language.
- XML data is sent to cell phones and formatted to display text and images using software designers.
- XML is a lightweight language used for layout design, as it doesn't make the layout heavy.

Example
- A graphical example of a Login Form application is shown, demonstrating the practical use of XML in Android development.
What is a Java File?
