Android: Running multiple activities

Question

Hi,

I have developed a simple android application, which when started opens a Timer. User is given two buttons, start/ pause. This is working fine. What i want to do is to add a way to support multiple timers when a user swipes his finger on the screen. When he swipes from left to right, a new timer should show up, but the previous timer should not stop. This is a way to add multiple timers. Also, when he swipes from right to left, i want a previous timer to show.

This is what i have done so for. I have a timer activity. I have added a touch event on it. When, a person swipes his finger, i get the co-ordinates and decide whether its from left to right or right to left. This funtionality is working fine, as i can see the appropriate log messages.

The problem is when im trying to load Timer Activity. It just loads the previous Activity and doesnt really create a new one (I figured this from the timer). Is there any way to do it?

There already exists ViewFlipper, that has codes to switch between views.

You should create a ViewFlipper and have your layout in that, this way you end up with one single activity having multiple views.
