Well, here is a method that I can think of. 1. Create multiple View classes which prepare the layout and handle all the actions on that view. One for each, SearchView, ResultView and DetailView.
2. In the activity, get the first view and set it as content to the activity. 3. When the user navigates, keep an ArrayList of Views so that you can maintain the state of the previous screens. 4. Handle the Back button press, and change the Activity's content to the required view. Instead of setting the content, you can also use a simple ViewFlipper to create animations while changing views.
