Changing the content view dynamically

Question

I am new to android and am trying to figure out how to change the contentView at will.

Right now, I have a TableLayout in the content view and it was set using the setContentView(TableLayout) method.

However, if I wanted to change this contentview within the same activity, how would I invoke this? Would I simply invoke the same method like: setContentView(TableLayout2) or would I need to clear the screen first?

What is the procedure for staying within the same activity and changing the content on the screen?

Thanks!

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.
