Guide/demonstration to switching between activities in an Android program.
Steps listed below in the description.

Link to previous demo for creating a button:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uen8B9p05tI

Steps:
==========
1. Create the layout
– Create a new layout file under res/layout
– Named: second.xml
– Make it show something new (text field, icon…)

2. Create new Java class
– Create a new Java class: SecondScreen
– Override the onCreate():
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.second);
}

3. Add activity to manifest
– Application tab, add new “Application Nodes”
– Add, “Create a new element at the TOP LEVEL”, Activity
– Set name: Select java class from above.
– Set Label (if desired)

4. Java code to switch activities
—————————
startActivity(new Intent( [Current Activity’s ‘this’], [New Activity’s Java].class));

Ex:
startActivity(new Intent(InClassDemoApp1.this, SecondScreen.class));

– Suggestion: Put launch code inside button callback:

Button daClicker = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
daClicker.setOnClickListener(
new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, SecondScreen.class));
}
});

5. Activity Stack
=====================
– Loading an Activity are pushed on the Activity *Stack*
– Activity’s finish() method pops it
Returns to previous activity on stack.
– Must use correctly!

– Can move on and kill current activity:
startActivity(…);
finish();

6. Troubleshooting:
—————————
– Demonstrate what happens with the activity being in the manifest.
* View LogCat via DDMS:
…android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class …; have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?
