Orientation and variants

[Drago Bratko]

I guess this would be quite a begginer question, but somehow I can't get trough.

What I'm trying to do is simple UI which would work in portraite and landscape mode.

How I did it ...I have create two layout variants in designer ... one for 480x800x1, and another one for 800x480x1 ... and on each of them I have rearange elements.
In app, on Activity_Create, I just do activity.LoadLayout ... without referencing to variant (as I understood that it would select layout which fit's best).

But it is not working properly ... it select only one layout (first one which I have create) no mather which orientation phone is.

What am I doing wrong ?

Can you post your project as a zip file (IDE menu Files/Export As Zip).
It would be much easier to help you.

Best regards.

Hmm, I just posted a question with the exact same issue. Mine does this even in a project with no other code. Only an imageview with an image loaded. I size it differently in Design Script for each variant to test, but it always loads the portrait variant with no Design Script applied when ran in any orientation.

Has this issue been resolved? Because I'm having the same problem and need a solution.

I created a BAL file with 2 variants (480x800x1 and 800x480x1). I expected Android to show the 800x480 variant whenever a device is in landscape mode - but that's not what happens. Instead, the 480x800 variant is rotated and shown.
