If you take some action on a screen and it should navigate you to another screen which presents a different task then what you were doing, that should be a new Activity. For example, if were looking at a list of things and clicking on one should show you a detail screen for the selected item, it would be odd to use the same activity, both from an engineering perspective (too much responsibility for one class) and from a user perspective (if I hit back, I'll lose both the details and the list screens). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
