How to move to a certain view using ViewFlipper?

Question

I would like to switch to certain views in a ViewFlipper. Currently, I have 6 children inside the ViewFlipper. And I am having some buttons for navigation. It is very much similar to "News and weather" application.

See this simple complete example of android.widget.ViewFlipper. With it you can create different layout from xml and then switch among them with simple method like this:

   ViewFlipper viewFlipper = (ViewFlipper) findViewById(R.id.myViewFlipper);     // you can switch between next and previous layout and display it    viewFlipper.showNext();    viewFlipper.showPrevious();    // or you can switch selecting the layout that you want to display   viewFlipper.setDisplayedChild(1);   viewFlipper.setDisplayedChild(viewFlipper.indexOfChild(findViewById(R.id.secondLayout) 

Xml example with tree layouts:

     <ViewFlipper             android:id="@+id/myViewFlipper"             android:layout_width="match_parent"             android:layout_height="match_parent" >              <LinearLayout                 android:id="@+id/firstLayout"                 android:layout_width="match_parent"                 android:layout_height="match_parent"                 android:orientation="vertical" >                [...]             </LinearLayout>              <LinearLayout                 android:id="@+id/secondLayout"                 android:layout_width="match_parent"                 android:layout_height="match_parent"                 android:orientation="vertical" >                [...]             </LinearLayout>              <LinearLayout                 android:id="@+id/thirdLayout"                 android:layout_width="match_parent"                 android:layout_height="match_parent"                 android:orientation="vertical" >               [...]             </LinearLayout>       </ViewFlipper>

Call setDisplayedChild(), passing the 0-based index of the child View you want to display.
