Also it is nice to have both portrait and landscape be the same length when looking at a long list of directories. At any rate, this mapping from directory name to Configuration is done in the aapt tool, so it can change without any changes to the platform. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer [email protected] Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support.
