Hi,

An easy way would be to use a ViewFlipper, you can search for it on google and you ll find plenty of examples. Another way of doing what you want but one that requires more code is to define all the views(TextView, EditText and so on) you want in the layout of the MainActivity and set their visibility to GONE or VISIBLE at your choice.
