I’m new to android and I’m need a little help understanding how to move

  • 0

I’m new to android and I’m need a little help understanding how to move from one window to another. I know i use setContentView(R.layout.main) to load an xml layout file, but how do i swap to another layout file? I assume i would use an onClick method on a button and change setContentView(R.layout.other_layout), but would doing all this inside my main activity make my code cluttered? I could end up having 10000+ LOC easily. Can someone explain the correct way to do this please. Thanks

    Intents allow us to call another activity from our present activity. For example our current activity is Act1 and we want to move to another activity, Act2. this can be done as:

    Intent i = new Intent(Act1.this, Act2.class);
startactivity(i);

    Refer http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/intents/intents-filters.html for more information on intents and activity.

    Another option is to call setContentView() 2nd time to change the layout.
