Question

it seems like stupid and beginner question. But can I have two activities in same layout?

So my main.xml layout is like this:

<LinearLayout>
    <MapView>
    <ListView>
</LinearLayout>

I have a MapActivity class that is already too long. So I planned to make a new ListActivity class that handles the ListView content.

I heard we can use Fragment but after reading the docs, it seems it is used for handling two layouts in same activity. Opposite of what I need.

Thanks

You can’t have multiple Activity to run parallely. You can use MapActivity with ListView as a content control.

public class MapList extends MapActivity {

ListView mListView;

@Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.layoutfile);
        mListView =(ListView)findViewById(R.id.listviewid);
    }
}

note: one can take multiple ListView control in same Activity.
