Step #1: Put only the first screen's worth of content into the ViewFlipper in your layout upon creation of your activity. Step #2: On the first swipe/tap/gesture/whatever to a never-before-seen "page", inflate the content, add it to the ViewFlipper, and make it the displayed child. Step #3: On the second and subsequent moves to the page, just make it the displayed child. > A much better method would be to place one layout per activity and > switch between these activities using the slide in / slide out > animations. > Is something in this direction possible with Android right now?

You are welcome to use a swipe/tap/gesture/whatever to elect to start or finish an activity, but the user will control whether or not there are animations between them. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Beginning Android_ from Apress Now Available! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
