#7349
Conversation
Fixes: dotnet#7315 This makes our item templates useable from inside Visual Studio, as it should allow them to show up in a new `Android` category in the "Add New Item" dialog.

@jonpryor a few questions on this one:

The answer to all these is "no":

After working on dotnet#7349, I found some really odd behavior if you name an Android layout, `my_cool_layout.xml`. VS appears to generate: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Linearmy_cool_layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical" android:my_cool_layout_width="match_parent" android:my_cool_layout_height="match_parent"> </Linearmy_cool_layout> This is completely broken! It appears that anywhere the word `Layout` was replaced with `my_cool_layout`. I also get the same behavior with `dotnet new android-layout -n my_cool_layout`. To solve this issue, I made the default name `Layout1`, so that `<LinearLayout/>` and `android:layout_width`, are not replaced. Now I get a `my_cool_layout.xml` with the contents: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"> </LinearLayout> Secondly, the `android-activity` template if you run: dotnet new android-activity -n MyActivity It will generate: [Activity(Label = "@string/app_name", MainLauncher = true)] public class MyActivity : Activity Let's replace the label with the name passed in, and remove `MainLauncher=true`, so we instead get: [Activity(Label = "MyActivity")] public class MyActivity : Activity I think this will prevent confusion with multiple app launchers, etc.

@mrward: would you be able to take a look at this? |

Looks mostly fine to me. The layout file seems to be flagged as C#. But that seems to match what is in the template.json file:

Hmm, even the MAUI "page" templates that are So we should change this to

For some reason I added a check to VS Mac that ignored every item template that was not C# language (I think I copied what WebTools was doing but will have to check). So for now I suggest it is left as C#. |

Hi.

The templates we have for .NET 6+ are what they are, and we would add more based on customer feedback. Can you suggest a feature here? And folks can upvote and help us prioritize:
Make to say ".NET 6 Android", ".NET 6 iOS", etc. to mention what platforms and templates you need/find missing. |
