Android - Same buttons accross multiple layouts

Question

I'm writing my first android app and having some trouble. I have 4 layouts, each with their own xml file and the same 4 buttons at the top of each screen. The 4 buttons should simply switch between the 4 layouts, but I can't get it to work. When the app laucnhes, I can click on any 1 button and it works, but I can't click on another one after that to change the layout again. The buttons are defined in each xml and I'm thinking that is the problem. Is there a better way to do this? Something similar to frames in html?
