Changing layout

[FFMan]

How do I change the displayed layout in code ?

Do i use activity.loadlayout("<name>")

What does changing the layout do, is the previous layout still active and can be updated or can one only update the active panel ?

If I laod a previously used panel, will the previous contents still be there ?

thanks

thanks I'll take a look at those but I am confused with the terminology. Is there a diagram somewhere showing object hiaerachy ?

What is the definition of a panel ?

What is the definition of a layout ? The designer refers to layout so are these the same as VB forms ?

The view are the items on the layout such as buttons etc ?

Controls are named Views in Android. Panel and Button are views.
A layout file is a file created with the designer that holds the settings of multiple views. Layout files do not have any effect until you call Activity.LoadLayout or Panel.LoadLayout.
