Display button from another activity

I have two activities/two XMLs.

I made a Facebook button inside signactivty.java (sign.xml) and I want to display the Facebook button in homeactivity.java (home.xml).

How can I use a button that's created in another activity?

Please give me an example.

create facebook_button.xml like this

<Button xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
id="@+id/fb_button"
android:layout_width="64dp"
android:layout_height="64dp" />

create sign.xml layout file and use 

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">
    <include layout="@layout/facebook_button"></include>
    ....
</LinearLayout>

and so, in your home activity too...

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">
    <include layout="@layout/facebook_button"></include>
    ....
</LinearLayout>

first create a third xml 

button.xml

and create a layout inside it with only the button view inside it
then include that xml file in whichever xml file you want
In your case include it in sign.xml and home.xml
