Can I create independent layout files for UI without necessarily creating a new activity. Plus I want some buttons to open them.

Question

Am making this app that is more like a 6 month calendar. I have created 6 different activities. Each activity has 30 to 31 buttons and they are all suppose to open a different activities entirely.

Now do I have to create (30 * 6) 180 activities? Or I could just create layout that are open when those buttons are clicked? Is this possible, to create layout files with textview, scrollview and with backwards compatibility and logical parent without having to create a new activity altogether? Plus these layouts will not have a click able elements. I am scared of how messed up my manifest would be with such many activities. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

The good way of programming is to have a less code , you can create only one activity for all the months and have a 31 buttons on it.
the trick is to hide and view buttons based on specific month days.
Create another activity to view content when a button is clicked(day).
You can know which button is clicked by passing a value
(day number) to the second activity and use that value to view different content.
