You can have the same IDs but it should be in different layouts. The same layout cannot handle duplicate IDs. I have taken two layouts as you did containing buttons having as "btn". I am calling the Activity2 having newxml.xml from the Activity1 having main.xml.

Here is my code:

main.xml:

Activity1:

setContentView(R.layout.main);

Button button=(Button) findViewById(R.id.btn);
button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Intent intent=new Intent(Activity1.this,Activity2.class);
            startActivity(intent);
        }
    });

newxml:

Activity2:

setContentView(R.layout.newxml);

Button button=(Button) findViewById(R.id.btn);
button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        finish();
    }
});
