UPDATE - HELP

I really don't understand how to get around the problem of calling the SetToScreen from the other activity, Can anyone help as if I try I do keep getting Static call errors.

Answer 1

Look at

public void setToScreen(int whichScreen) {}

Use this function to set to a screen on a click.

you should extend Draggablespace by adding a function to get the current space like:

public int getCurrentScreen() {
    return this.mCurrentScreen;
}

then you can write your own functions in your activity like

public void nextScreen() {
    draggableSpace.setToScreen(draggableSpace.getCurrentScreen() + 1));
}

The same for previous screen.

Now you only need to check if there is an additional screen waiting if you are going forward or backward.

(Of course draggableSpace is your object of the class draggablespace...not a static call!)
