Calling setContentView() multiple times
Per Austyn's comment, I did manage to locate some guidance on how to use ViewFlipper to accomplish this in another post (see the checkmarked top answer here.)
If you don't want to use ViewFlipper, I found a nice example of how to switch between layouts in the same view here:
XML:
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<ImageView
android:src="@drawable/icon"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"/>
<TextView
android:text="Learn-Android.com"
android:textSize="24sp"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center"/>
</FrameLayout>
Code:
private void SwitchLayout2() {
RelativeLayout Layout1 = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.layout1);
RelativeLayout Layout2 = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.layout2);
// Enable Layout 2 and Disable Layout 1
Layout1 .setVisibility(View.GONE);
Layout2.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
private void SwitchLayout1() {
RelativeLayout Layout1 = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.layout1);
RelativeLayout Layout2 = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.layout2);
// Enable Layout 1 & Disable Layout2
Layout1.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
Layout2.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
No, you can't call it multiple times easily. You either need to entirely remove all views and then inflate the new layout, or use a ViewFlipper
(or FrameLayout
) to switch between different views.
On a side note, this question has been asked before, although I couldn't immediately find it.
