Question

I created an Activity which allows navigating between pages with a couple of Buttons (Previous and Next). When the user clicks one of the buttons, the Activity (same) needs to be “refreshed”. In order to do this, I set up the buttons to make a call to

onCreate(this);

after they set up the other stuff that the activity uses for the paging to work.

And it is working so far, but I’m wondering if there is a better way. Is there?

I fixed this trough refactoring:

Created a new function with the code that was being executed in onCreate (i.e. Layout initialization, database access and information display). The new function is called by the onCreate method (when the Activity gets the “Create” notification) and at anytime that I need to “refresh” the contents of the Activity (i.e. when a button is pressed).

Thanks for your comments.
