Question

want to make an Android app that starts with a main layout and when you push a button (called stateButton) that is in this layout the layout changes to a main2 layout containing another button (called boton2), and when you push this one you get back to the first main.

I want to do this in the same activity without creating or starting another one.

Here I show you part of the code:

public class NuevoshActivity extends Activity
implements SensorEventListener, OnClickListener {
    private Button stateButton;
    private Button boton2;

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */ 
    @Override 
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { 
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);       
        setContentView(R.layout.main); 
        this.stateButton = (Button) this.findViewById(R.id.boton);
        this.boton2 = (Button) this.findViewById(R.id.boton2);      
        stateButton.setOnClickListener(this);
        boton2.setOnClickListener(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        if(v==stateButton) {
            setContentView(R.layout.main2);             
        }
        else if(v==boton2) {
            setContentView(R.layout.main);
        }
    }
}

The mains only have some images, text views and the buttons.

But I’ve some troubles. Can’t it just be as simple as that or what am I missing or what is wrong?

Answer 1

Your boton2 button will be NULL because the definition of the button is in main2.xml.
The only views you will be able to find are the views which are defined in main.xml.
