If you want is to be done on Single activity then use to hide the Layout while showing another layout.

Means hide main Layout while open the Second Layout. And Same thing for Main Layout also.

Adnd if you dont want it to be done in Single activity then try this.

Create two xml. as like main.xml and second.xml
now in calling of first activity setContentLayout(R.layout.main);
and while call second activity then setContentLayout(R.layout.second);

By defalut android hide the first activity and show the second activity.

Yes but make sure that you are using fill_parent on the parent layout of the both the xml.

Hope it will help you.

Enjoy. :))
