Android best practice : 2 activities or 1 activity with multiple layouts?

I have two main screens in my app : main view and settings. Should there be two activities for that ? Or should 1 main activity, 2 layouts and I hide/show them when necessary ?

I suggest to use two different activities that extends an abstacts Activity created by you, in which you'll add all the custom features you need on both activities.

You can use Fragments (1 for Main, 1 for settings). For more information go to http://developer.android.com/guide/components/fragments.html

I would also say two activities.. It really depends on your goals both user experience wise and functionally. Of course paying close attention to how they interact with each other (startActivity vs startActivityForResult) and savedInstanceState s

Two activities. Acceptable option is one activity with multiple fragments.
