Best way to add Activity to an Android project in Eclipse?

1. But i can’t get the visual editor for that new activity. I know that I suppose to create new layout but how to do it and connect it with that second Activity?

2. How to properly go back from the secondActivity(close it? minimize it? how?) to the mainActivity and don’t loose information gathered why we were using secondActivity(for example what options user has made?

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