Hi, i know it is done somehow by other applications (for example adding new skins to an existing application w/o knowing the name of the layout ahead of time) what am i missing here. is this not the way to do it? should i copy all resources to the file system and read them from there? would that make sense? would i be able to inflate a view with them this way? Thanks,
