Hi there,

I got stuck on the following issue:

I have a TabHost with several tabs with a ListView. No i want to start a new Activity inside the current tab when a list item is clicked. If a start a new activity onListItemClick it opens the activity fullscreen.

                super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 
                setContentView(R.layout.mytabactivity);        
 
        final TabHost tabHost = getTabHost();
 
        TabSpec ts1 = tabHost.newTabSpec("Tab1");
 
        ts1.setIndicator("Tab1", null);
 
        ts1.setContent(new Intent(this, TabView1.class));
 
        tabHost.addTab(ts1);
 
        TabSpec ts2 = tabHost.newTabSpec("Tab2");
 
        ts2.setIndicator("Tab2", null);
 
        ts2.setContent(new Intent(this, TabView2.class));
 
        tabHost.addTab(ts2); 
 
        }
 
}

Is my idea possible? Open a new intent in the current tab on a list item click?

I think that if you want to open new activity inside current, you must to create new TabHost in this tab. Otherwise, its always will be opened as a new Activity, shifting previous to the stack (if I make no mistakes).

The TabHost has many bugs, in particular, when activity in tab content contains only one Spinner or TabHost in TabHost. So, if you try to make new TabHost as a content for current tab, welcome on a board!

hai thomas,
Thomas to start new activity you can use Intent()
this will help you to switch from one sceen to another

Thanks for the information so far.

At this point I do not have time to get into it (deadlines). So I do open my view as a total new activity. For a later release i'll have a better look for this problem and will post my solution by then.
