Question

I know it sounds stupid but I recently started studying fragments/fragmentactivity to replace tabactivity.. but the simple problem is that I don’t know how to switch the tab from current tab i.e. in tabactivity hosting activities, used this to open tab 1

TabActivity tabMap = (TabActivity) getParent();
tabMap.getTabHost().setCurrentTab(1);

How can I do the same with FragmentActivity hosting tabs (fragments)??

Thanks

As long as I understood, you want something like this (assuming getParent() returns Activity)

TabHost host = getParent().findViewById(android.R.id.tabhost);
host.setCurrentTab(1);

BTW, switching to ActionBar tabs is recommended, not hard and it will look much better and you would’nt have to use deprecated stuff.
