Checking the AndroidManifest.xml File

I am working on a Java SE applicaiton that parses Android applications.

Is there any schema / DTD that can be used to validate AndroidManifest.xml? If namespace definitions are found, for example:

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

But schemas.android.com does not allow the acutal host, so there is no schema file: - (

Note. I do not check on Android as a platform.

There are no DTD / schemas for Android XML . You must rely on other tools that can perform validation, for example, as Naresh explains.

Also see "Where are the schemas for XML files in an Android project?"
