Android pages Activity or Layout?

Question

My app Consists an intro page with "Start", "About", etc..

I managed to create a functional version of the app by having the "Start" button call a new layout in which a new onclick listener is defined.

This doesn't seem clean to me that I@m defining a new onClick listener for each Layout I use and wonder how the correct way would be to create individual pages (including my "About" and any other screens I implement).

Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

You should create an Activity for each "screen". All the buttons will launch the same event (onClick) and you will start the right activity looking at the ID of the event's source view. Something like this:

public void onButtonClick(View target) {
       System.out.println("Button clicked '" + target + "'");

       switch (target.getId()) {
            case R.id.a_button:
                Intent intent = new Intent(this, AboutActivity.class);
                this.startActivity(intent);
            break;
       }
}
