ANDROID How to get visual editor for the nwe Acitivity

Question

I have created a new Activity through androidManifest.xml as it was described here: Best way to add Activity to an Android project in Eclipse?

I hava a class DrugieOkno and I run it from the MainActivity by

Intent intent = new Intent(this,DrugieOkno.class);
    startActivity(intent);

but I would like to be able to design it in the way I designed the MainActivity window. What I suppose to do to have Access to Graphical Layout of the DrugieOkno (this additional Activity) I work in the Eclipse.

If i had i wouldn't ask. The only thing I had done is what I wrote above. — Yoda, Jul 11 '12 at 14:45

You need to create a layout for the Activity you created.

Select res/layout
Right click, New > Other
Select Android XML Layout File, Next
The dialog will let you fill in some basics.
Go to the Activity class you made and put setContentView(R.layout.LAYOUT_FILE_NAME); in onCreate().

@RobertKilar: In the project tree. Under the project name, there will be src, gen, some others, and res. – unholysampler Jul 11 '12 at 15:10
sorry, but I don't have any available R.layout beside activity main, I would like to create another one. – Yoda Jul 11 '12 at 15:19
@RobertKilar: After making the layout file, R should be regenerated to include the new layout. – unholysampler Jul 11 '12 at 15:23
Ok so that's my question really. How to generate new Layout file and include it into project so I can connect it with my DrugieOkno(second Activity) – Yoda Jul 11 '12 at 22:08
@RobertKilar: The instructions I gave will do that for you. – unholysampler Jul 11 '12 at 22:19
