Don't use Tab Activity then(TabActivity is deprecated now).

Simply create three activities and place three buttons at the bottom of each activity.

and while switching from one activity to another just call finish() after startActivity().

I am again saying not to use TabActivity because i have used it in one of my project an that was a headache for me.
