How To Connect Multiple Xml Files

My app needs different screens and each screen should be connected with each other. For example there are 5 screens, the main screen, 4 other screens connected to the main screen.

Solution 1:

You can also use and tag in your main.xml file to include other xml files....

Solution 2:

You can use ViewFlipper. You just have to add all layouts to your main layout. And then you can go in your MainActivity.java through all layouts. >ViewFlipper< But thats an older version of going through the views.

A nicer and more up to date method is using Fragments >Fragments<

Fragements Tut 1

Fragments Tut 2

Fragments Tut 3

There are many other tutorials and examples. Just google for "Android fragments Tutorial/example"

Solution 3:

use <include/> in your main xml to include other xmls in your layout.

Use fragments.
