About This Tool

The Android strings.xml Formatter turns compact or messy Android resource XML into readable, consistently indented markup.

It validates XML syntax and confirms that the document uses the required <resources> root element before formatting it.

Benefits and Use Cases

  • Format Android string resources with two-space indentation
  • Catch malformed XML tags before adding a file to a project
  • Keep comments, attributes, and resource elements readable
  • Copy a clean strings.xml file into Android Studio
  • Format files locally in your browser

How to Use

  1. Paste your Android strings.xml content.
  2. Click Format XML.
  3. Review the validation message and formatted output.
  4. Copy the result into your Android project.

Android Example

The formatter expects the standard Android resource structure:

<resources>
  <string name="app_name">My App</string>
</resources>

It can format string resources and other valid child elements inside <resources> without changing their values.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this translate strings?

No. It only validates and formats XML.

What indentation does it use?

The output uses two spaces per nesting level.

Does it support plurals and arrays?

Yes. Valid XML child elements inside <resources> are formatted without restricting the resource type.

Is my XML uploaded?

No. Parsing and formatting run in your browser.
