Call startActivity() to spawn the new one, then call finish() to close the old one. However, there may be better ways to skin this proverbial cat. > I'm trying to create an app that will allow for changing views from a > standard Activity layout to a Map Layout, but since forcing the layout > back and forth crashes the app, it seems to require multiple > Activities.

Basically, have both layouts in one Activity, and toggle between them. While this means your one Activity is more pudgy than with just the single layout, this is probably less resource-intensive than killing and starting activities a lot. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android Training on the Ranch! -- Mar 16-20, 2009 http://www.bignerdranch.com/schedule.shtml --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
