I read some question regarding this but all the answers are about fragments and there is question similar to this one but the answer is incomplete, I want to reuse a set of layout or codes into multiple activities, i created a baseActivity that extends into Activity with the code below.
I also read that you need to put the code in the onCreateOptionMenu but it is still not working. (the code in baseacitivty xml is working, and homepage xml is working but does not show the navigation_layout)
public class BaseActivity extends Activity {
private ImageButton ibButtonHome;
private ImageButton ibButtonFavorite;
private ImageButton ibButtonRandomize;
private ImageButton ibButtonHistory;
private ImageButton ibButtonLogOut;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.navigation_layout);
}
View.OnClickListener Navigation = new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent i = new Intent();
if (v.equals(ibButtonHome)) {
i.setClass(getBaseContext(), HomePage.class);
} else if (v.equals(ibButtonFavorite)) {
i.setClass(getBaseContext(), Favorite.class);
} else if (v.equals(ibButtonHome)) {
i.setClass(getBaseContext(), HomePage.class);
} else if (v.equals(ibButtonRandomize)) {
i.setClass(getBaseContext(), Randomize.class);
} else if (v.equals(ibButtonHistory)) {
i.setClass(getBaseContext(), History.class);
} else if (v.equals(ibButtonLogOut)) {
//TODO: something code here to not crash on activity exit??
i.setClass(getBaseContext(), MainActivity.class);
}
startActivity(i);
}
};
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {

super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
ibButtonHome = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.button_Home);
ibButtonFavorite = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.button_favorites);
ibButtonRandomize = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.button_randomize);
ibButtonHistory = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.button_history);
ibButtonLogOut = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.button_logout);
ibButtonFavorite.setOnClickListener(Navigation);
ibButtonRandomize.setOnClickListener(Navigation);
ibButtonHome.setOnClickListener(Navigation);
ibButtonHistory.setOnClickListener(Navigation);
ibButtonLogOut.setOnClickListener(Navigation);
