That is not what I wrote. Copy layout/layout1 to layout/layout3. Then, all three are available under unique identifiers. You still have a landscape layout1 that would override the default layout1 when the device is in landscape mode. > that is why i added a proposed solution for that - call the get > getResources().getConfiguration().orientation myself and figure out > which layout to switch to. are you saying it wouldn't work? No, I am saying having your own subdirectories under layout/ will not work. I now realize that is not what you meant, and I apologize for my error. You are welcome to: 1. Add android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation" to the <activity> element of the AndroidManifest.xml file for whatever activity or activities you want. 2. Override onConfigurationChanged() in those activities -- that method will be called when the configuration does change. 3. Do whatever you want to affect the orientation change (e.g., call setContentView() on whatever layout suits your fancy). -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books.html --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
