[android-developers] Re: orientation changes for layouts
Thanks for the reply,sorry for the delayed response
that will only work if i want to create a view. but what if the view is the
same and i want to attached a dynamically created object from the layout,
for example a new keyboard inside a view. you switch the keyboard using the
new layout but the view is the same.
this is why i need to get the resId and parse the xml and not use inflate

If you want to use a layout file, call setContentView() on your
activity, or call getLayoutInflater().inflate().

[android-developers] Re: orientation changes for layouts
Thanks again,
so i went ahead and implemented that and then found out that this:
public XmlResourceParser getXml(int id) throws NotFoundException {
return loadXmlResourceParser(id, "xml");
}
does not find the resource id if the layout is in layout-land (it does find
it if it is in layout though)
any way to work around this?

Correct. Android does not support the notion of accessing two resources with the same name from different resource sets at the same time (unless there's an API for that which I have not seen, which is certainly possible). -- 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.

[android-developers] Re: orientation changes for layouts
Thanks got it, but the point still is that Android would not know that layout3 and layout1 are the same and so if i am in layout3 it will not switch to layout1 when an orientation change occurs, right?

Copy layout/layout1 to layout/layout3. Then, all three are available under unique identifiers.

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 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.

[android-developers] Re: orientation changes for layouts
Thanks,
by calling the layout-land "layout3" i loose the android built-in method to
switch to it when the orientation changes.
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? if so, why? and what
would work?

Copy layout/layout1 to layout/layout3. Then, all three are available
under unique identifiers.
