In this article I will describe the problem I've had with Eclipse's handling of XML file formatting as well as the best way to fix it. I use Eclipse to do my Android development for a few reasons ...

Additionally, hackers also manipulate the AndroidManifest.xml files and employ malformed String Pools to disrupt tools that handle Android XML files.
