You can include one layout file in another and this technique is called reusing Android layouts using include tag. e.g:

<include android:id="@+id/myid1" layout="@layout/workspace_screen" />

This is explained well in a blogpost by Android developers..

Yet another article on the Android developer site explains the layout re-usability.

Create file titlebar.xml

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width=”match_parent”
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@color/titlebar_bg">

    <ImageView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
               android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
               android:src="@drawable/gafricalogo" />
</FrameLayout>

In main layout :

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical" 
    android:layout_width=”match_parent”
    android:layout_height=”match_parent”
    android:background="@color/app_bg"
    android:gravity="center_horizontal">

    <include layout="@layout/titlebar"/>

    <TextView android:layout_width=”match_parent”
              android:layout_height="wrap_content"
              android:text="@string/hello"
              android:padding="10dp" />

    ...

</LinearLayout>
