Organizing layout files using virtual folders?

No. You can't do that because the layout XML files are required to exist in a real folder on disk, and the virtual folders are basically search index listings.

Unfortunately you won't be able to do what you want: virtual folders can not be used to store Android XML files, and the aapt tool that Eclipse invokes to convert Android XML files expects a specific folder structure which you can't deviate from.

I was under the impression that using a virtual folder would leave the real directory unchanged, while organizing the files visually in the way I want. I'm not sure I understand what a virtual folder is. – jnackman Jul 6 at 17:46 Yeah, they are effectively just a search listing, not a real directory.

Opening/navigating them can only be done in Eclipse, not in any outside tool: this means things like aapt that open files on disk that are expected to be in specific locations simply won't be able to find the disk file. – Femi Jul 6 at 18:00.

By definition from eclipse: Virtual folders are folders that exist only in the Eclipse workspace tree, and have no file system location. By using virtual folders, file and folders can be organized in a project hierarchy independently of the file system location of those resources. Regular file and folder resources can not be created under a virtual folder, since they need a file system location as their parent in order to exist in the file system.

Only other virtual folders, or linked resources can be created directly under a virtual folder. So this means you cannot place files in them, and android doesn't allow creating folders for the layout structure.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
