I need a starting point to make the following possible.

I have a Main activity start when the Android application starts, as well as an alternate screen that I want to be Debug output (only strings). What I am struggling with is, what layout do I use for the debug screen, and how do I keep this screen constantly populating while I am viewing my Main activity? I do not have any code for this functionality as everything I have tried has crashed my application, so I was hoping to start fresh. I am a super noob to Android so any information would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT:
I am sorry, I should have been more specific. I will be receiving Debug information over Bluetooth from a robot. Sensor information, location, possibly a camera feed, etc. At the moment I am looking for a good way to display the Debug information that is Text only. I have a Main Activity that will have the controls of the Robot, and I want to have a second separate screen (that can be switched to from the Options menu) that will have the debug information updated in real time. Don’t worry about any of the Bluetooth stuff I can already read and write to the socket. Just the “debug screen”

    After doing some more research I have decided to use a TabActivity instead of trying to do two separate screens. This allows the Tabs to be under 1 Activity and I do not need to worry about inter-Activity communication. Thank you all for you help.
