Differece Between Layout and Panel ?

[gkumar]

Could anyone tell me what is the difference between Layout and Panel ?

A Panel is a container view that holds other views.
A Layout is a file contaning a layout of views and is defined in the Designer.

A Layout can contain Panels.

Layouts must be loaded in the code, either onto Activities or Panels with LoadLayout.

Best regards.

Thanks for your reply..

I have added one panel and one tabhost and saved as a layout file.
and trying to add 4 tabs with 4 different panels thru code.

but while debug, getting "java.io.FileNotFoundException: (balayout): layout not available.bal" error.

In Activity_Create sub called LoadLayout, Panel.Initialize, and AddTab subs.
dont know what I am missing here !

You should post your project as a zip file (IDE menu Files / Export As Zip).
So we could see what you have done and how and test it in the same conditions as you do and therefore give you the best advice..

Best regards.

getting "java.io.FileNotFoundException: (balayout): layout not available.bal" error.

Often this is caused by typing errors.

You know, that B4A aka Android aka Unix distinguish upper-case and lower-case letters?
