If I add a new screen to an existing app in Buzztouch, does that new screen get added to the project in Eclipse automatically or do I have to re-download a zip file that includes this new screen's code or do I download the code just for this particular screen and add it in using Eclipse? Thanks Title Comments I just had a quick question about adding new screens.

Your changes are updated automatically in the app if it is an online app. The screens are in the Config file which is stored online, and the app will look for updates when it opens. No need to re-download the code. Jim Comments It doesn't work like that.

I understand that the app does update automatically when I make changes to it in Buzztouch but the new screen doesn't seem to be added to it. If I understand what you're saying, the screen should just show up on the app when it refreshes if I've added it in Buzztouch. Is that correct?

The screen is created from the Congif data. Fred Comments Your source code contains the code (XML file and Java file). The screen is created from the Congif data. Fred

Mark had let me know that I need to link my screens to the menu, otherwise they won't show up so I'm doing that now. (And it works.) Comments Thanks, Fred.
