There should be no such problem. This is really very simple: there is one resource "thing" for all of the configurations. Any time you try to load that resource (such as with setContentView() or <include />), the framework will retrieve whichever of the resources under that name best matches the current configuration. The <include /> tag works *exactly* the same as setContentView(), which works exactly the same as every other resource lookup. If you want to have a layout that you use in different configurations, just do as Romain suggested and put it in the base layout/ dir. Do NOT put any different layouts in any other configurations, or else one of those different ones will be picked if the current configuration matches them. Also if you have a layout in some other configuration (layout-land/ or whatever), you should ALWAYS also have a layout in the base configuration. Otherwise if you get in a situation where the current configuration doesn't match (for example here you are now running portrait) then trying to load the layout will fail because there is no value defined that matches the current configuration. (Of course everything I say here about layouts also applies to all other resources; configurations are a generic resource concept, nothing specific to layout resources.) -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer hack...@android.com Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.
