Hi Tom, Thanks for your feedback. Since I have to support API level 8 and upwards I'll add support for both flavors (layout-sw* for API level 13 and upwards and layout-large for those between 8 and 13). But if the designer doesn't work then I have to add controls programmatically instead. Can you please point me in the right direction for doing that?

The smallest-width qualifier wasn't introduced until Android 3.2 (API Level 13). It will be ignored by earlier versions of Android. I wonder if maybe your targeted version is < Android 3.2, which is causing the Designer some problems? Again, just a theory, but might be worth checking out.

Lately I have been tasked to develop an Android application as well. Seeing that Android comes in many flavors size-wise I have read some of Xamarins documentation on the subject of Multiscreen applications, but alas, I cannot get it to work. My issues are as follows: - When I include alternating layouts such as /Resources/layout-sw720dp/Main.axml the designer opens and I am not able to switch back to the original layout (/Resources/layout/Main.axml) any more (in the designer that is - can still see the XML). - When I do changes to the alternate layout, it happens more often than not that the original layout is updated as well. I have also experiences several times that if I have alternating layouts, the entire directory is removed when I try to do changes to the respective layout. - Side note: I noticed earlier that the device list on the designer toolbar had many entries in it. Now it is completely empty. My development environment: - Both MonoDevelop and Visual Studio 2010/2012 on three different computers (with valid licenses). I reinstalled one of my laptops an hour ago, created a new Android application with one of the default templates and the above-mentioned issues still apply. My computers are quite new so neither performance/drivers should be an issue. Any ideas or suggestions?
