Hello Their ,


I am wondering how I could make a button open up a new page or layout. I am making a app that has a list of stories and I want the user to press on the button in order for him to open up a new page that displays the story. I know a little bit of java and any more advice will be helpful .




Thank youuu!

Well I'm assuming you know how to get something running off of a button, if not just let me know. But this is the code for use in your method:

Code: Select all

Intent intent = new Intent(this, YOUR_CLASS_NAME_WITH_THE_NEW_VIEW.class);
       startActivity(intent);

then in the xml you need to add:

Code: Select all

<activity android:name=".YOUR_CLASS_NAME_WITH_THE_NEW_VIEW." android:label="@string/app_name" />

Then of course set up your layout and do the standard code for a layout. Thats the complex but as far as I know the most correct way (not the only way) because it allows the back button to be used. However in your circumstance I'm not sure that's necessary. I believe you can just set up the layout and use:

Code: Select all

setContentView(R.layout.YOUR_LAYOUT_NAME);

Hope this helps... I'm relatively new to android as well so I'm not the person to ask as far as the drawbacks/advantages for each

Just to point out the middle part labelled 'in the xml' is actually in the Manifest.

Hi, every one! I have a question, how to make this, but with several buttons and that by pressing them appeared same xml, but with the different content undertaking from others activity?
