@Zigurd: Using Intents is fine and I'm using that as well. But my question was more about creating a LinearLayout and adding child views to it outside an Activity (like in a regular Java class) and then spawning an Android Activity based on certain parameters (say some parameters derived from a server script). So in some cases it should create 1 LinearLayout and pass to an Activity (how??? i'm not even sure if this is possible at all) and in some cases it mite spawn a TabActivity and pass it 'n' (say 3) LinearLayouts. The main idea was to create a View outside an Activity and then pass it to the Activity. >From what I gathered this is not possible currently right?
