    Good answer from Ollie C https://stackoverflow.com/a/9827887/603233:

    The advantages of XML are:

     1. Ability to use layout editors (Eclipse)
 2. Easier to preview layouts
 3. Possible to benefit from auto-localisation of layouts
 4. Easily maintain different parallel layouts for difference devices (screens)
 5. Can get a sense of the layout by looking at it (easier than code)
 6. Easy to break layouts down into pieces (fragments, includes, etc) to remove duplication
 7. Keeps a separation between the visual design, and the functionality behind it
