Answer 1

Create the below method in your class which extends TabActivity,

public void switchTabBar(int tab) {
        tabHost.setCurrentTab(tab); 
    }

And now in your activity’s back press method, do this,

public void onBackPressed() {
    TabBar parentTab = (TabBar) this.getParent();
        parentTab.switchTabBar(1);//Instead of 1 provide the tab position which you want to navigate to. 

}
