是否有处理Android XML的emacs模式？

Question

If I open a .apk file with Emacs, it shows me the archive just fine, but if I select the AndroidManifest.xml file, all I get is gobbledegook, because the XML is Android's binary XML encoding.

My google-fu has failed me in locating an emacs mode that understands Android Binary XML. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Answer 1

I don't believe any emacs XML mode would decode the binary XML format directly. However, there is a small perl script that can turn the binary XML into readable XML here: http://code.google.com/p/android-random/source/browse/trunk/axml2xml/axml2xml.pl

When loading a binary XML in emacs, I select the whole buffer, and run 'shell-command-on-region', specifying axml2xml.pl as the command. It's kludgy, but it works, for reading at least but not writing.
