Vanishing Layout

[Smee]

When i rotate my device the layout vanishes. The only way i can retain it is if i have this in the Activity_Resume sub

Sub Activity_Resume
Activity.LoadLayout("Menu")

End Sub

Surely this is not right?

This is the Create Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   If FirstTime=True Then
      Activity.LoadLayout("Menu")
      SQL.Initialize(File.DirDefaultExternal, "WDOrders.db", True)
      Activity.LoadLayout("Table")
      WebView1.Width = 100%x - WebView1.Left
      WebView1.Height = 90%y - WebView1.Top
      Image1.Initialize("Image1")
      Image1.Visible = False
      Activity.AddView(Image1, 10dip, 10dip, 100%x - 20dip, 100%y - 20dip)
      WebView1.Visible=False
   End If
End Sub

Can anyone advise as to what is going wrong?

FirstTime is true when the process is created. Later your activity can be recreated many times and FirstTime will be false.

Layout related code should always run:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   If FirstTime=True Then   
      SQL.Initialize(File.DirDefaultExternal, "WDOrders.db", True)   
   End If
                Activity.LoadLayout("Menu")
                Activity.LoadLayout("Table")
      WebView1.Width = 100%x - WebView1.Left
      WebView1.Height = 90%y - WebView1.Top
      Image1.Initialize("Image1")
      Image1.Visible = False
      Activity.AddView(Image1, 10dip, 10dip, 100%x - 20dip, 100%y - 20dip)
      WebView1.Visible=False
End Sub

Thanks Erel,

As usual that works fine now, thank you.
