Hi all, Q: What is the recommended way to build user interfaces on the device based on layouts provided by a server at runtime?
I am aware of this: <snip source="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ LayoutInflater.html"> For performance reasons, view inflation relies heavily on pre- processing of XML files that is done at build time. Therefore, it is not currently possible to use LayoutInflater with an XmlPullParser over a plain XML file at runtime; it only works with an XmlPullParser returned from a compiled resource (R.something file.) </snip> I could imagine these possibilities: - Parse XML by myself and build the ui tree. (Seems inappropriate to me since there is already maintained code which is able to do this.) - Transform XML on server to a simpler format which is cheaper to parse on the device. (Inappropriate as above.) - Preprocess the XML layout on the server the same way the build does. Transmit it to the client, and then try to load it. But how? android.content.res.XMLBlock is hidden (@hide) and I don't know how to classify the stuff in package com.android.layoutlib.bridge. Any help would be appreciated.
