Dear All,

is there any xml file required in the android, since we can use the java code direct?

You can't create an Android app without setting up multiple XML files, chief and foremost the AndroidManifest.xml file. Your IDE may do this for you, though.

I don't understand where you see the connection between using XML files and Java code; maybe you can elaborate on that.

You can create layouts programmatically, but the question is: why would you? Using the API instead of the XML files provides some flexibility, but that comes with a lot more work, IMO.

Sure. If you are looking to customize views dynamically, you can make use of programmatic access to build them.
