two different layouts for one activity

Question

Is it possible to have two different layouts for different cases in the same activity or do I have to use intent to call another activity with a different layout

Answer 1

Yes its possible. You can use as many layouts as possible for a single activity but obviously not simultaneously. You can use something like:

if (Case_A)   setContentView(R.layout.layout1);  else if (Case_B)   setContentView(R.layout.layout2); 

and so on...

Answer 2

Yes this is also possible with switch case

I already tried this code....

switch (condition) {         case 1:       setContentView(R.layout.layout1);                  break;         case 2:       setContentView(R.layout.layout2);                  break;         case 3:       setContentView(R.layout.layout3);                  break;          default:      setContentView(R.layout.main);                  break;     }
