public class learn extends Activity {
	
    private static final int MENU_NEW_GAME = Menu.FIRST;
    private static final int MENU_QUIT = Menu.FIRST + 1;
    
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

            this.finish();
            return true;
        }
        return false;
