You may use also LayoutInflater class.

1. Create xml layout file.
2. Find the View to change using findViewById.
3. Remove all children from the found View using .removeAllViews() method.
4. Inflate xml layout content into found View using .inflate() method.

This is an example:

LinearLayout layoutToChange = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.layout_to_change);
layoutToChange.removeAllViews();

LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(this);
LinearLayout newLayout = (LinearLayout)inflater.inflate(R.layout.new_layout, null);

layoutToChange.addView(newLayout);
