Switching to new Activity

[rfresh]

I have a button that I want to press to display a new page. I have the following code to do that:

Activity.LoadLayout("Setup")

I created a setup.bal file in the Designer and did the layout etc.

When I touch the Setup button to display this setup screen, the components display but on top of the existing screen components. I thought the switch over to the new screen would just show those components on that new screen.

Do I have to destroy or kill the current layout first?

Thanks...

To start another activity you need StartActivity(Setup). And in that activity you would have the Activity.LoadLayout(Setup)

When you load a new layout you are essentially just drawing the new views to the activity.

If you want to have separate "screens" you should create a new activity for each layout (this keeps things much cleaner as well in my opinion).

But to answer your question,

For i = Activity.NumberOfViews - 1 To 0 Step -1
  Activity.RemoveViewAt(i)
Next

From klaus. Also, that is the 2nd result when searching for "Activity.LoadLayout". The search function is invaluable

Thanks, that makes sense. Obviously I'm new to B4A. I don't see in the IDE how to create a new Activity? I tried the File New menu but I think that created a new Project right?

Have you had a look at the beginners guide? It is an excellent starting point.

Also, to add an activity you go to Project >> Add New Module >> Activity Module

Ahhh that's what I couldn't find. Project->New Module->Activity.

Thanks...
