The best solution in my opinion (at least for now) is to incorporate the ability to be able to load a layout for each orientation if needed.

For example:
If there is no need for multiple layouts, the default call will be still valid
Design more code less
B4X:
Dialog.LoadLayoutMultiple("layout1", "layout1_landscape").ShowDefault("", "")If there is no need for multiple layouts, the default call will be still valid
B4X:
Dialog.LoadLayout("layout1").ShowDefault("","")Design more code less
I don't understand. I would not change the dialog width or height. If i rotate my device, the dialog resizes itself if the dialog height/width exceeds the new screen heigth/width.
The dialog width does not resize. It stays fixed and s set to you panel width in you layout file on all orientations
This solution would be ok imho. But does it work if i rotate while the dialog is active?For example:
B4X:Dialog.LoadLayoutMultiple("layout1", "layout1_landscape").ShowDefault("", "")
If there is no need for multiple layouts, the default call will be still valid
B4X:Dialog.LoadLayout("layout1").ShowDefault("","")

Yes, that is the task ... to automatically detect screen orientation changes and load the appropriate layout. It is a little bit tricky though

But what's about the changes i have made in Dialog_Show (e.g. filling a listview)?
The events will be re-raised since the layout will be loaded. And since you will have the same controls, it should work just fine.
But the dialog resizes on rotation. Sure only if the dialog size exceeds the screen size.
The width does not resize. I am talking about the DialogView. It sets a fixed width which is based on your layout panel.
OK, you're right. But the height changes
Lol. Yes it does, but since the width does not we have a problem
I can stay with it. If i have a dynamic layout (e.g. change label value on listview click) i must save the state on click somewhere and respect the settings on Dialog_show.
Eventually it will be useful if Dialog_Show() have an additional parameter which signals the first call (like FirstTime on Activity_Create).Lol. Yes it does, but since the width does not we have a problem
I'm having an issue with the dialog. I cannot get it to show properly. I don't see what is in the designer, being shown. The button is missing and no items are in the listbox.
B4X:
Dim dialog As DialogView
dialog.LoadLayout("setupweather").ShowOk("TITLE1", "POS1")
Sub setupweather_Show()
LocationsListView.SingleLineLayout.Label.TextColor = Colors.Black
LocationsListView.AddSingleLine("Duvall, Wa 98019")
End SubCan you please post a screenshot of what you see?
In order to use the ShowDefault method, you must have one label for the title and one label for the content and add the TITLE1 and POS1 strings to the tags of the labels in your layout that you want to have as a title and content respectively.
If you want to use the SYSTEM title and buttons just use the Show, ShowOk, ShowYesNo or ShowYesNoCancel methods:
Check the Dialog1 and Dialog2 layouts in sample3

B4X:
Dialog.LoadLayout("setupweather").Show("Title", "yes", "no","cancel", null)Check the Dialog1 and Dialog2 layouts in sample3

What version on B4A are you using? Download the latest 1.3 version and try with that if it still does not work.
Attached is a sample and apk based on your code and layout. It works fine.
