  • I tried to put a string as extras in an intent from tab2. this intent calls Parent Activity class holding all three tabs. I applied Bundle extras=getIntent().getExtras() on onresume() of parent which then put extras in the tab2 here is the code String extra = intent.getStringExtra(name); if (extra != null) { /* String value = extra.getString(name);*/ dialerIntent.putExtra(name,extra); } else{ Log.e("anurag debugging SipHome intent onResume", "no intent data recieved"); } dialerIntent is the intent used for tab1 – anurag Oct 18 '12 at 09:19

Activity assigned to tabs cannot be replaced with another activity. Instead try changing its contents.

  • then is it possible to fetch data from one tab to another. tab2 is a list activity from where I need to select a value which is required in tab1. – anurag Oct 18 '12 at 09:17
  • Yes , you can fetch data from one tab to another, on list item select, write a static method where you can pass the data and do the changes. And call it when you want to change the data. – Shiva Oct 20 '12 at 08:32

You can use public abstract MenuItem add (int groupId, int itemId, int order, int titleRes) method for this TabActivity like,..

menu.add(1, 1, 1, "TAB1");

and you can refer this link for the next steps,..

Got a solution for the issue. It is difficult to start an intent for result when a particular tab is pressed as the result can not be recieved. The simple solution for this is to use public static variables to get data from one class to another.
