Comments in Android Layout xml

November 13, 2022 by Tarik

As other said, the comment in XML are like this

<!-- this is a comment -->

Notice that they can span on multiple lines

<!--
    This is a comment
    on multiple lines
-->

But they cannot be nested

<!-- This <!-- is a comment --> This is not -->

Also you cannot use them inside tags

<EditText <!--This is not valid--> android:layout_width="fill_parent" />
