[android-developers] Re: Cant seem to get resources to select with layouts for different densities

Just wanted to give a bit more info

I also have a layout.xml file in the default "layout" directory.

In my code the main activity uses this line:

setContentView(R.layout.main);

If I delete the layout.xml from the default layout directory I get a
force close on startup.

So does this line of code interfere with android's layout loading or
something , overriding it?
