Android Question AbstractLayout.txt file location

[rfresh]

I saw in an old thread Erel supplied this file and said to copy it to the B4A folder. I copied the AbstractLayout.txt to my C:\Android folder but I don't see this phone when I open the AVDManager? Is that the correct folder?

You don't need to add any file and this file is not related to AVD Manager.

What are you trying to do?

I was trying to add a Samsung S8 emulator to my testing but then I read you supply just the basic 4 screen sizes. So I guess that means I can't add a specific emulator?

When I used B4A a couple of years ago, I could add almost any phone I wanted to test but apparently that has changed.

1. B4A Avd Manager creates AVDs with 4 screen sizes.
2. It is a mistake to build your layout for a specific screen size. You should use the visual designer features to build layouts that look good on all screen sizes.
3. Nothing prevents you from using any old method you used to create AVDs with other screen sizes.
4. You can also switch sizes in the abstract designer.
