{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.1);
setContentView(R.layout.2);//when i use this it generate an error

Answer 1

setContentView is not meant to be called multiple times. As the name suggests, it “sets” the view, not add it to an existing set of views.

You need to include the 2nd layout xml in the first, using <include layout="@layout/name-of-layout">

Update:

Change 1.xml to

<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
    android:background="@drawable/back_image">
    <ImageView android:src="@drawable/loading_logo"
        android:id="@+id/ImageView01"
        android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="120dip">
    </ImageView>
    <TextView 
        android:id="@+id/textView1" 
        android:text="www.seecycle.com"
        android:layout_marginTop="100dip"
        android:gravity="center_horizontal|center_vertical"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@+id/ImageView01"
        android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
        android:textSize="20dip">
    </TextView>
    <include layout="@layout/2" />
</LinearLayout>

In the activity, only do

setContentView(R.layout.1);
