Hello Everyone
Am developing an application with multiple XML files. When I receive particular commands from server, based on that i will be calling the required XML files using the command:

setContentView(R.layout.xml_file1);
setContentView(R.layout.xml_file2);

and this moves from xml_file1 to xml_file2...but I am unable to come back to previous screen ie xml_file1(its present screen)......whether is t correct to call xml file using the above mentioned command???
If not please suggest me the correct command....and also move back to the previous screen.....please help

<pre lang="java">setContentView(R.layout.xml_file1);
setContentView(R.layout.xml_file2);</pre>
inside your activity will be setting activity content view to xml_file2 layout only.
In order to move to another activity from current(from file1 to file2), you need to call an activity with Intent. Above code seems incorrect. Better search "Starting an activity from another".

Android uses Intent to transit between activities, see these examples :
