How to start activity in another activity in android?

Im trying to make a simple card scanning in my activity. There is a problem that i need to start this scannong activity in another. There is a place (rectangle field) in the main activity. And i'm trying to start another activity only in that field.

So i don't know how to make two activities work in the same time on the same screen. That's the problem

The best way to do this is to use fragments like @Raghunandan said.

You can just place a fragment in the place you have left.

Here is the link to the official Android site: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Fragment.html

Here is the link @Swedish Architect gave: http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/AndroidFragments/article.html#fragments_tutorial

This is a really good tutorial on how to use fragments.

Fragments work almost like activities do.

you can't have multiple Activities on screen at once. However, you could refactor your separate activities into Views, then show a single Activity with one persistent View alongside a group of swappable Views (managed by tabs or ViewFlipper).

or

  • you can use Fragment

  • Custom dialog

    public class CustomDialog extends Dialog {

    public CustomDialog (Context context) {
    super(context);
    requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    setContentView(R.layout.dialog);
    getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.TRANSPARENT));
}

    }
