I’m developing an android app that has a bunch of screens (activities) that are supposed to have “continue” and “back” buttons at the top. Can you tell me the right pattern for implementing this? I’ve seen some iPhone apps that have this but Android apps usually don’t (I think partly because the back button is part of the phone).

I found a post online about an Activity class that has “sub activities” which kind of seems like what I want to do, but I’m wondering if there’s a simpler solution or pattern for creating flows like this (in which several activities are linked with continue/back buttons).

    I’m developing an android app that has a bunch of screens (activities) that are supposed to have “continue” and “back” buttons at the top.

    If you want to implement a wizard, use buttons at the bottom and do it as a single activity, perhaps using a ViewFlipper for the changing contents.

    If this is not logically a wizard, just allow the BACK button to handle “back”, and tapping on something meaningful to go forward, as a set of regular activities, like a regular Android application would.

    In other words, please follow platform navigation conventions.
