Question

Alright, so I have an application that has a tabbed interface. What I would like to know is how I can change the currently active View in the tab, and then when I’m done with that View, go back the the original View, exactly as it was.

Answer 1

You may also want to use a ViewFlipper, defined in xml.

<ViewFlipper android:id="@+id/ScreenSwitch"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    <element A>
    <element B>
    <element C>
</ViewFlipper>

Usage is simple, just find the ViewFlipper object throught findViewById() and request changing:

viewFlipper.setDisplayedChild( idOfViewToSet );

It’s then completely up to you, how do you build “tabs”.
