Loading Layouts - both appear

[acedashdog]

This is dumb question corner; I'm coming from a PC/VB/Basic4PPC background so be gentle

I know I use
Activity.LoadLayout("menu")
to locad a form. It has buttons to show other forms, ubn the evnt for which I put
Activity.LoadLayout("nextpage")

But I end up with both instead of the new one 'over' the old
How do I hide the menu form and bring it back when I'm done with the second one?

Cheers

Klaus has created an excellent tutorial about multiple layouts: http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4andr...orials/8416-different-examples-2-layouts.html

Thanks Erel - looks like what I need
Another dumb one when you're ready
I complile the program, as far as I can tell that creates
\objects\temp.ap_

How do I install that on an actual phone (or in my case, streak tablet)? Which files do I copy?

Cheers

It is better to start a new thread for every question.

You should not use the "compile without signing option". Instead choose Compile & Run (even if you don't have a device connected) and the apk file will be located in the Objects folder.

Note that you can connect any device with B4A-Bridge.

Sorry - I'll start a new one next problem :sign0161:

So the file called
\objects\result_DEBUG.apk is the compiled application?

What I want to do is hang it on my website for my Android phone using friends to find...

Thanks!

The name of the APK file will be the same as the project file or 'result' if the project file contains an illegal character (like space). You can rename the APK file as needed.

Do not distribute the DEBUG apk file as it contains debugging code and will not work properly. Uncheck Project - Attach debugger and then run your program.

Still doesn't show up, terribly sorry, I don't know what I'm doing wrong

My package name is AceDashDog.Greychar and label GreyChar

So I should get \objects\Grechar.apk, shouldn't I?

The APK file will be located at <source folder>\Objects. It will be named <your main project file>.APK or result.APK.
