This leaves me to add to adnorid's post, that ViewSwitcher itself is only able to switch between 2 layouts/views. This is simply because it's hardcoded to only 2 layouts/views without deeper meaning, as far as i know. So i built my own MultipleViewSwitcher aka MVS, base on the original ViewSwitcher.java from android source. The only changes that had to be made are:

1. Provide the MVS with own
   • boolean mFirstTime and
   • int mWhichChild
2. Correct hardcoded into dynamic handling of an arbitrary number of views in functions
   • addView(...)
   • getNextView()
   • reset()

This can all be done in MultipleViewSwitcher.java alone and works like a charm.

I came accross a bunch of stuff like that where the android sources could be made much more powerful with, many times, near-no-brainer-edits. I'd like to know why that is, but that's not for this thread here.

cheers!
