What Can You Convert?
Convert common Android XML layouts to Jetpack Compose Kotlin code, or generate an android XML layout starting point from basic jetpack compose UI code. The converter is meant for common Android UI structures and is meant to give you a faster first draft for migration or development purposes.
XML to Jetpack Compose
Turn common Android XML layouts and views into modern Jetpack Compose code. Convert layout containers, text elements, input fields, buttons, images, selection controls, spacing, and basic layout attributes.
- LinearLayout → Column or Row
- FrameLayout → Box
- ScrollView → Scrollable Column
- TextView → Text
- Button → Button
- EditText → TextField
- ImageView → Image
- CheckBox → Checkbox
- Switch → Switch
- ProgressBar → Progress Indicator
- Space → Spacer
Jetpack Compose to XML
Generate an Android XML layout starting point from common Jetpack Compose UI code. The reverse converter identifies basic composables and supported modifiers, then creates an XML structure that you can refine in your Android project
- Column → Vertical LinearLayout
- Row → Horizontal LinearLayout
- Box → FrameLayout
- Text → TextView
- Button → Button
- TextField → EditText
- Image → ImageView
- Checkbox → CheckBox
- Switch → Switch
- CheckBox → Checkbox
- CircularProgressIndicator → ProgressBar
Supported Layout Properties
Where possible, the converter preserves common UI properties such as text, hint, orientation, width, height, padding, margins, text size, text color, visibility, enabled state, basic background colors, drawable references, and view IDs as migration notes or test tags.
What Requires Manual Review?
Complex Android UI behavior may not have a direct one-to-one conversion. Review generated code when your project uses ConstraintLayout rules, custom views, data binding, RecyclerView adapters, navigation, themes, resource styles, animations, click listeners, state handling, or advanced Compose modifiers.
The converter creates a practical starting point and adds TODO notes or warnings where additional development work may be needed.
How It Works
Convert Android XML layouts and Jetpack Compose UI code in a few simple steps. Paste your code or upload a file, choose the conversion direction, and generate a practical starting point for your Android project.
1. Paste or Upload Your Code
Paste an Android XML layout or Jetpack Compose Kotlin code into the editor. You can also upload an .xml layout file or a .kt Kotlin file from your project.
2. Choose the Conversion Direction
Select XML to Compose to generate Jetpack Compose Kotlin code from an Android XML layout. Select Compose to XML to create an Android XML layout starting point from basic Jetpack Compose UI code.
3. Convert, Review, and Use
Click Convert Code to generate the output. Review the converted code and any TODO notes, then copy it into your project or download it as a Kotlin or XML file.
Built for Android Developers
This Android layout converter is built for developers who work with both traditional XML layouts and modern Jetpack Compose UI. Whether you are maintaining a legacy Android app, learning Compose, updating an existing screen, or creating a migration draft, the tool helps you move between XML and Compose code more efficiently.
Use XML to Compose mode when you want to turn a standard Android XML layout into a Jetpack Compose Kotlin starting point. Use Compose to XML mode when you need a basic XML layout structure from existing Compose UI code for comparison, documentation, or work in a View-based Android project.
The converter is especially useful for Android developers, freelancers, agencies, students, and teams that need to review layout structures quickly without manually rewriting every common view and container from scratch.
- Convert common XML layouts into Compose starting points
- Generate XML structure from basic Compose UI code
- Work with familiar Android views and layout containers
- Copy or download generated Kotlin and XML files
- Review TODO notes for complex migration cases
Conversion Notes
This converter is designed to create a fast and practical starting point for Android UI migration. It can convert common layout structures and UI components, but every generated result should be reviewed before production use.
Supported Conversions
The tool works best with common Android XML layouts and basic Jetpack Compose UI structures. It can help convert familiar containers such as LinearLayout, FrameLayout, and ScrollView, along with common components including TextView, Button, EditText, ImageView, CheckBox, Switch, ProgressBar, and Space.
Where possible, the converter also preserves straightforward properties such as text, hint, orientation, width, height, padding, margins, text size, basic colors, visibility, enabled state, and drawable references.
Supported Manual Review May Be Needed
Some Android UI features do not have a direct one-to-one equivalent between XML layouts and Jetpack Compose. Review the generated code carefully when your project includes ConstraintLayout rules, custom views, data binding, RecyclerView adapters, navigation, animations, resource styles, themes, click listeners, or advanced modifiers.
Jetpack Compose uses declarative state and Kotlin logic, while XML layouts often depend on Activities, Fragments, adapters, listeners, and ViewModel connections. The converter may add TODO comments or warnings when these parts need to be implemented manually.
Test Before Production Use
After conversion, test the generated layout in Android Studio and compare it with the original screen. Check spacing, dimensions, text styles, colors, image resources, interaction behavior, accessibility, and screen-size responsiveness before using the code in a production app.
Generated code is a useful migration draft, not a replacement for Android development review and testing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an XML to Jetpack Compose converter?
An XML to Jetpack Compose converter is a developer tool that turns common Android XML layout code into a Jetpack Compose Kotlin starting point. It helps Android developers begin UI migration faster instead of rewriting every supported layout and view manually.
How do I convert Android XML to Jetpack Compose?
Select XML to Compose, paste an Android XML layout into the input editor or upload an .xml file, and click Convert Code. Review the generated Jetpack Compose Kotlin code, then copy it or download it as a .kt file.
Can I convert Jetpack Compose code back to Android XML?
Yes. Select Compose to XML, paste basic Jetpack Compose Kotlin UI code or upload a .kt file, and generate an Android XML layout starting point. Review generated XML carefully because Compose state, callbacks, animations, and custom composables may require manual implementation.
Yes. Select Compose to XML, paste basic Jetpack Compose Kotlin UI code or upload a .kt file, and generate an Android XML layout starting point. Review generated XML carefully because Compose state, callbacks, animations, and custom composables may require manual implementation.
Which Android XML components can this tool convert?
The converter supports common Android UI structures such as LinearLayout, FrameLayout, ScrollView, TextView, Button, EditText, ImageView, CheckBox, Switch, ProgressBar, and Space. It can also preserve many basic properties, including text, hint, padding, margins, dimensions, orientation, text size, and simple colors where possible.
Can the converter handle ConstraintLayout?
The converter can generate a Compose starting structure for ConstraintLayout, but complex constraints, chains, barriers, guidelines, and custom positioning require manual review and refinement. Always compare the converted result with the original Android screen.
Is the generated Jetpack Compose or XML code production-ready?
The generated code is a practical starting point, not a guaranteed final production implementation. Test the output in Android Studio and review themes, resources, state handling, click actions, custom views, navigation, and complex layout behavior before using it in a live app.
Is this Android layout converter free to use?
Yes. This Android layout converter is free to use and does not require an account or signup for standard conversions.
Is my XML or Jetpack Compose code stored?
Standard conversions run locally in your browser. Your pasted code and uploaded XML or Kotlin files are not stored by the tool.
