How to comment my XML files in Android Studio


I am learning Android and want to be able to add line comments to my XML so I can remind myself what things are doing.

Is there an accepted practice for this, or is it possible in Android Studio? I recall reading that comments in XML are hard, so I wanted to know if that was also considered true here.


Solution

  • As mentioned above you can comment in XML just like this:

    <!-- Comment -->
    

    But in android studio you can very easily toggle comment just by selecting what you want to comment and then pressing:

    CTRL + /
    

    This not only for XML but also for your java code for example.
