I'm writing a simple game so I can learn more about android
development.  I need a little help designing the menu system.  When
you start the application you will see a simple menu:

Start New Game
Resume Game (Dynamically shown after a game has been started)
Scoreboard
Instructions
About

When you click on "Start New Game" it starts a new "Play" activity
(This works fine)

The "Resume Game" option should only be visible when a game has
already been started and the user returns to the main menu.  How do I
determine whether the "Play" activity has been started or not in order
to display this menu item?  Also, how do I handle the back button
press when in the "Play" activity so that the game state is paused and
not lost when returning to the main menu?

Example:
The game application is started and the user sees the following screen

New Game
Scoreboard
Instructions
About

The user then taps New Game and starts to play. In the middle of the
game the user hits the back button (or receives a phone call, starts
another app, etc.) and sees the following screen when returning to the
game app:

New Game
Resume Game
Scoreboard
Instructions
About

The user either taps "New Game" and starts a new game or taps "Resume
Game" and continues where he left off.

How should I approach this using multiple Activities?

Thx,
Aaron
