  • 0

When I try to run my app on my Samsung Note II, I get a ResourceNotFoundException for this line

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

However, I don’t get this exception when I run it on the emulator or my Samsung Note 10.1.

Both are running Jellybean and my xml files are in folder called layout-land, and the XML file is in there. I tried cleaning my project and re-building, but it still doesn’t work.

Does anyone have an idea what’s wrong?

Let me know if I can provide any more information. Thanks!

    I suspect that you have your problematic layout files only in the layout-land directory (based on what you wrote in the question). This means that if the device is launched in portrait mode, Android will search for your layout in layout-port directory, then layout, but not layout-land. I might be wrong but my hunch is that your Samsung Note II starts in portrait mode and thus doesn’t see the layout file.

    You have to provide a fallback layout resource. Either copy the layout from layout-land to layout-port and modify it accordingly for portrait mode or just copy it to layout directory as a fallback layout.
