Manually pre-compile xml layout files and use them

Question

Is it possible to manually pre-compile a layout file, put it in a jar and use it? if possible how ?

I'll explain: When using a apk packaging, the build process pre compile xml resources, for runtime optimization. Let's say, for example, I want to load xml files from a server, and load them to ui. I need to pre-compile them, and I prefer doing it on server side with the android sdk.

try this:

1. put your xml file into your resource folder (for example into res/xml)
2. run your project
3. go to bin folder of your project
4. open youapplication.apk as zip-archive
5. go to res/xml folder of your archive
6. extract already compiled xml from that folder
7. use extracted xml as your complied xml file
