Accessing another activity's layout Android

Well my question may be a bit immature but I'm really wandering about it. How can I access the layout of activity A from the class of activity B. i.e I want to change the image in xml file of Activity A from activity B. Is it possible? Kindly help.

You Can't modify A's Image at a running time becasuse A will be in pause mode when B is in front. You need to startActivityForResult();(A ----> B); And in ActivityForResult() method you need to right your Handler logic to change the Image.

In B activity finished you need to set the Result.

You don't need to do it in such a way. I suggest you to look at the startActivityForResult. Start Activity B, do all the needed work there and once you are done, you'll be returned to the Activity A and considering the data you get at the onActivityResult, you can change the image at the content view of Activity A

No you can't access views of one Activity in another. You can Navigate to another Activity and change the image there.

You set a layout for each Activity and Each Activity has a life cycle.
