title: C#: Xamarin.Android main.axml replaced by activity_main.axml and content_main.axml

  <p>Hi. First of all, I want to say I am totally new to Xamarin.Android using Visual Studio, so my question may be very silly to most of you here. But I'm just so confused with all the tutorials I'm following and the actual project structure that I have on my VS version which is 15.7.4.</p>
  
  <p>Anyway, on all of the tutorial I'm following, their layout folder contains only one layout file which is main.axml. In my case, let's say I create a blank android app, mine would contain activity_main.axml. When I create for example a Single View app, mine would contain activity_main.axml and content_main.axml.</p>
  
  <p>I am not sure if this is the new android structure but I'm really having a problem following along the tutorials because I have a totally different layout structure. I tried searching for other tutorials but all of them use main.axml.</p>
  
  <p>Now let's say activity_main and content_main are the new layout structure:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>If I create a blank app, should I create a new layout file and render it via activity_main?</li>
  <li>If I'm creating a multi-screen app, how do I add a new activity and call/render it via trigger like a button click? Would it be the same thing as with main.axml?</li>
  <li>What's the importance of content_main? Am I good without this layout file?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I am really confused right now, and any help I would greatly appreciate!</p>
