B4J Question B4XPages - how to know what should be in the shared files folder and how to add them there?

[tseyfarth]

Hello all,

Working on my first (hopefully) cross platform app for iOS and Android.

Using B4J to develop the forms for all three platforms how do I know what files should be in the shared files folder?
I would think all of the forms at least, but none are there. In addition none of the .bas files are there nor are any forms.

What is the proper procedure for adding files and what files should I be adding?
Once they are in the shared folder, how do I get them distributed to the other target folders properly?
As these are updated in B4J, are they also automatically updated in the folders of the other platforms?

Thanks,
TIm

The standard B4J B4Xpages template has a project folder which has all of modules code as .bas files.
The shared files folder has resources like media or text files which get copied automatically to the platform specific IDE.
The specific IDE has a file manager that can associate a file from anywhere into the 'Assets' folder
The assets folder information gets loaded into the App automatically and is only an abstract folder in the App, hence the restrictions on its use.
