Screen management: How to switch between screens

Question

How can I switch between different screens that implement Screen?

Answer 1

Something like below. Off course you need to add the Button to the stage, create a skin and the OptionScreen yourself.

@Override
    public void show() {
        final OptionScreen optionScreen = new OptionScreen();

        TextButton optionButton = new TextButton("Options", skin);

        optionButton.addListener(new ClickListener(){
            @Override
            public void clicked(InputEvent event, float x, float y) {
                ((Game) Gdx.app.getApplicationListener()).setScreen(optionScreen);
            }
        });        
    }

Because we use optionScreen inside a listener here it has to be final since the application never knows when the button is clicked it. You can also just create a new instance of OptionScreen inline setScreen(new OptionScreen);.
