In recent years, as smartphones with Android platforms expand, the number of Android applications increases. Android applications implement Java and XML to compose the user interface, among other things. Between Java and XML, various problems may occur. Nonetheless, static analysis research and tools are not sufficient. In this paper we will list the problems which may occur between Java and XML. Subsequently, we will propose a detection method for them. Using the proposed technique, we found 172 Android-specific problems and 35 performance drop issues in 150 Android applications in the Google Play Store. We would like to contribute to research into static analysis and software quality improvement.
