It depends on what you want to achieve, for example if you have requirement to display data from database query in linear layout, because of dynamic data you don’t know what fields you need to define and how many fields you need to define, in this case, you will have XML as skeleton and will implement real field add logic in java code.
Another case where you know ahead of time how many fields your layout may have, for example login form, in this case it is very simple to define in XML, I feel the main reason is you don’t need to write whole lot of java code.
