AXML files are a type of Android XML Resource File developed for Google Android Studio by Google. These files can be opened on Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms. Knowing how to work with the AXML file is beneficial if you are developing an Android app or working with Android source code.
Regular XML files contain tags similar to HTML, but carry custom data, whereas AXML files are a compressed version of XML files. Resources.arsc or AndroidManifest.xml in APK files typically use the AXML file extension. To usually start working with an AXML file, it needs to be decoded back to a regular XML file. To do this, you can use tools like Apktool, AXMLPrinter2, ApkResDecoder, or dDecode online tool to parse the AndroidManifest.xml file.
Google's Android Studio, the official IDE for Android development, is capable of opening AXML files embedded within APK files. Android Studio takes a more prominent approach, giving you a powerful code editor and developer tools built directly into the IDE. It is supported across most operating systems. Android Studio can be downloaded from the official Android developers website.
In some cases, the AXML extension could also indicate an AviSys Bird Data file. This is a proprietary file type used in AviSys, a birding software for the storage of bird data. Opening these files requires specific software such as AviSys. Note, these files have a very different structure and cannot be decoded using Android development tools.
When working with AXML files, it's essential to remember they are binary files and can't be read with a regular text editor as a raw XML file would. They are designed to be smaller and more efficient for the Android system to parse. With the right tools and understanding, working with AXML files can be straightforward, whether you wish to examine or decode for your Android development work.
