>> Is it best to have a separate activity for the initial and each secondary screen and use startActivity on each initial screen button and secondary screen back button to navigate between them?
Sounds like a normal use case to me. My Fantasy Football app has a similar flow, although it's not returning data to the main activity. Honestly, I would spend even just a short period of time understanding Java. Not saying you should know the kitchen sink before getting into Android, but I couldn't imagine how difficult it would have been to build an app having to learn both on the fly.
