Question

Firstly!,
I’ve used the generated Activity using the tab navigation type. I just used it to automatically generate Tab control on the Activity. Its on the latest ADT.I think :(,,
Now my question is how do I use the Fragments from other Activity in to the Tab contents

secondly,
Is there any other way to put another Activity inside the Tab content which on the, lets say its MainACtivity.class?….

Planning to have 3 Tabs with 3 different Activitys, each of which contains 1 Activity per tab content

Really need ur help guys I have run out of ideas and sources 🙁 🙁 …
Kind of new to android development so be gentle. 🙂

tab.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TabHost xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@android:id/tabhost"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">

    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical"
         >

        <TabWidget
            android:id="@android:id/tabs"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
            android:layout_marginTop="60dp"/>
       <FrameLayout
            android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:padding="5dp"/>
    </RelativeLayout>

</TabHost>

Add below code in your activity.java file:

extend your activity by android.app.TabActivity instead of Activity

TabHost tabHost=getTabHost();
    TabHost.TabSpec spec;
    Intent intent;

    intent=new Intent().setClass(YourActivity.this, NewActivity.class);
    spec=tabHost.newTabSpec("tab1").setIndicator("imageId").setContent(intent);
    tabHost.addTab(spec);

    intent=new Intent().setClass(YourActivity.this, New1Activity.class);
    spec=tabHost.newTabSpec("tab2").setIndicator("imageId").setContent(intent);
    tabHost.addTab(spec);

    tabHost.setCurrentTab(0);

In the same way you can add as many tabs in your activity.
