How can I add multiple activity to the same screen in android

Question

I want to divide my screen into four parts and add activities in each part. I am not interested in using fragment. Each activity should behave independent of other. Attached photo is showing what I exactly want to do.

In each child activity I want to add VideoView or WebView depending on the selection from menu item.

How can I do it. I didn't find any way to add activity to an activity. Thanks :)

PS: Activity means Activity not fragment.

Take a look on GridView.http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/layout/gridview.html — Kristo, Feb 19 '16 at 09:17
I guess you want to add 4 Fragments, not Activity. Activity has to be one. — Rohit5k2, Feb 19 '16 at 09:18
so use a deprecated `android.app.ActivityGroup` `'''A screen that contains and runs multiple embedded activities.'''`, but in your case you should really use fragments — pskink, Feb 19 '16 at 09:21

i strongly recommend 'using fragments' in your case as ActivityGroup is deprecated in API 13..

You can achieve this design by using four fragments, one for each child view inside a single activity. The recommended way is to create a single XML layout for your activity, and create four fragments inside that layout.
