Editing in Eclipse Problem

I'm new to buzztouch, but used Eclipse a lot for other things. I've got eclipse set up and working fine and I can emulate the code as is when I compile it. I created some basic screens and menus in buzztouch to save me time and I liked the design, but then I wanted to add some more complex features myself, so I doenload the Android source and opened it in Eclipse. But I'm having trouble find the things I created in buzztouch. I've even tried searching for titles of various screens and bits of text I added in bbuzztouch, but no luck. There are so many files in the package it's taking a long time to go through manually. Is there a set place where the things I created are and may want to edit? Thanks

Hi and Welcome aboard.... The things (screens and features) you create on the control panel do not automatically turn into class-files in the Android project. The project is dynamic and relies heavily on our backend database to work. Another way to say this, you're not going to see many differences in your download after making changes in the control panel. The changes in the control panel are propogated to the app via the network on an as-needed basis. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. So is it possible to edit a screen to add features that are not possible to add from the control panel?

Without sounding like a fool - yeah - anything's possible? Generaly speaking, Java class files control the logic behind your application and .xml layout files control the look / feel. You could modify any of these files to suit your needs.
