Android App starting activity_main.xml

Question

I made an android app but I wanted to start a new activity (.xml). Normally when an app starts it shows direct the activity_main.xml layout file. I don't know how that is going on so what's the code for this because so I know how to start a new activity.

then you have to improve your search. There are a lot of tutorials available. — nano_nano, Feb 17 '14 at 16:11

You can specify the layout you want to show in your Activity using setContentView method:

setContentView(R.layout.layoutForYourActivity);

This has to be specified inside your onCreate method

Create a new activity through New -> Other -> Android -> Android Activity

A activity is a .java file, the .xml is only the layout. Call the new activity with

intent = new Intent(main.this, YourActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);

I suggest you to do some basic tutorials.
