1 - What is their difference?

AXML: Describe the UI for only Android apps. These are the same files used by Android native applications.

XAML: Specifies Xamarin.Forms layouts; these files describe a cross platform layout that each platform then renders in their native controls

Xaml designs cannot be directly copied into AXML (as they specify different controls) but they can be ported to AXML. Conceptually, xaml files describe how a UI should look on both platforms.

What is their difference?

  • AXML and XAML are two different XML specifications.
  • AXML is just supported/available for Xamarin.Android.
  • XAML is the way Xamarin Forms could standardize Cross Platform UI based on XML specification.
  • If you are using native Xamarin Android you will do UI using axml, if using Forms then using XAML.
