Android Question Multiple screens/ layouts

[bogdanc]

Hi everyone

I think to make an app with multiple screens.
I know that I can use a TabHost for it but I woudl like to do this in other way.

on load main actvity I want to make a home screen with menu for example:

So on press Page 1 I want to load layout 1 for Page2 layout 2 etc...

What is the best way to do this?

Just add action Click to all buttons Activity.LoadLayout("Layout1")...?
But what to do with loaded previously layout?

Look at chapter 13.2 Program with 3 Activities (ThreeActivityExample.b4a) in the Beginner's Guide.
You may also have a look at Different examples with 2 layouts.

Thank You for all answers.
I am beginner so please forgive me a silly questions

I using a tutorial https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/two-activities-example.6611/ and works fine.
when I swapping between activities I have effect like it jump from bottom to top of winnow.
Can I this off and load without any effect.

If you are using the latest version of B4A, you can edit the layouts with the designer and change the "Animation duration" to zero, if after doing that you still see the effect you mentioned then it means it's your device. Each device have a different "default" animation between activities.

Thanks again

So this is only one way to make some animation?

 

[RandomCoder]

I think that it is also possible by using custom themes although I only have limited experience using themes.
