Indeed it looks promising!

As I know, Android uses XML to keep the data and also for store/maintain the structure of the GUI.

Each component has an identifier and when java class want to get access into XML they use identifies. So, those identifies are saved in a one common file generated by Android(default) and get access to other XML contents via it.

I researched for find a way to view the html content[1] [2] in Android ( according to Jirka said that I can use DocBook xsl into my project). I found that their is class library for html inside android OS.

So, I think it can do the html rendering part and show the content which are generated by DocBook xsl. So I have to use those resources in useful manner, implement more effective user interface[3].

I tried for few of Android applications like pdf readers and eBook readers. I try with those in my Android emulator (which is virtual Android phone running on Desktop) and tried to figure out some of missing thing.
