Linking back to the main menu

Finally, for this layout, we will add a button that links back to the menu, as follows:

1. Add another TableRow via the Component Tree.
2. Drag a button onto the new TableRow.
3. Edit its layout_column attribute to 1 so that it is in the middle of the row.
4. Edit its text attribute to Menu and edit its onClick attribute to match our already existing loadMenuLayout method.

You can now run the app and switch back and forth between the different layouts.

If you want to, you can add some meaningful titles and data to the table by editing all the text attributes of the TextView, as I have done in the following screenshot, which shows the TableLayout running in the emulator:

The author admits that the preceding data might be considered overly optimistic.
