Android Question Change name of layout in designer [Solved]

[Roger Daley]

Hi All

I thought changing the name of a Layout would be easy, but....
The original name seemed OK until I decided to add the option of Landscape, not so smart so I want to change the name to Main.

Original name: Portrait.bal
New name: Main.bal

I shut down B4A , went to the "Files" dir and changed the name from "portrait.bal" to "main.bal".
When I reran the code the IDE threw up an error Not Able to Find "portrait.bal".
When I open the designer, under Files I can find "Portrait" but not "Main"


I've missed something .

Thanks in advance Roger.

Open Portrait in designer.

Choose SAVE AS to save it under a new name.
You now have Main.bal

Remove Portait.bal if not needed anymore.

Don't panic, problem solved.
In the files TAB Add Main.bal, remove Portrait.bal
