Question

I have a Edittext, a button and a ListView in my activity. Now when any of the options on listview are selected i want to replace everything by a webview and if the user presses back i want to come back to the original view.
How do i do this?
I looked at View flipper but that is mostly used if you switch between views a lot, also is it a good idea to use webview with viewflipper.

Answer 1

You could use the visiblity of the views, so setup a webview that fills the screen then set its visibility to gone in your xml, then when you want to display it use myView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); in your code to display the webview, it would probable be a good idead to make your buttons etc invisible using myView.setVisibility(View.GONE);

It would however be easier just to setup another activity with your webview in and just start that activity when required.
