I have two XML layouts declared in the res/layout folder one contains the generic template and the other contains the views specific to a particular screen. I want to add the second xml layout to the first one i.e. the generic one. As both of these layouts are declared as XML, I am not able to add one to other. How do I solve this problem?

Have you tried using a LayoutInflater and inflating your specific view and adding it to a ViewGroup or FrameLayout?

Every activity returns a view that is rendered on mobile screen, Since on click of button you want to change the screen i.e. view of that activity itself, get the view you want to modify by tag/íd and do the changes. There is no need to use LayoutInflater

I may not be understanding it correctly. But it might be a lot easier to use the <include layout="@layout/yourlayouthere" /> method to simply embed using just XML notation. I use this method to build a bunch of little parts and then pull them together in my main layout using the inlcude statement.
