The view hierarchy can have only one root. What setContentView() essentially does is that it sets the root view.

In your case,

Method 1

You'll have to either make one of the layouts as the root and add the other as a child. And call setContentView(root).

Or

Method 2

Create a dummy container layout. Set that as root. And add both your layouts as children to that container layout.

You can pass layout Resource ID or View in setContentView(); method.

try this..

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    LayoutInflater mInflater = (LayoutInflater) getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

    if(viewlayout1){
      view = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.layout1,null);
    }else{
      view = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.layout2,null);
    }
    setContentView(view);

    /*******************/

 }

You have a method to set view to the setContentView

So you can pass the root parent view to this method to achieve your requirement.
