Question

I need implement nested Activities in TabHost in my app. I use such ActivityGroup class :

  public class CustomActivityGroup extends ActivityGroup {

View rootView;


public static CustomActivityGroup group;


private ArrayList<View> history;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    this.history = new ArrayList<View>(); group = this;



      View view = getLocalActivityManager().startActivity("LoginActivity", new Intent(this,RegisterActivity.class) .addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP))
      .getDecorView();
      replaceView(view);


}

@Override
protected void onResume() {

    super.onResume();
    this.history = new ArrayList<View>();
    group = this;

}

public void replaceView(View v) {

    if (history.size() == 0) {
        if (rootView != null) {
            history.add(rootView);
            rootView = null;
        }
    }
    history.add(v);  
    setContentView(v);
}

public void back() {
    try {
        if (history.size() > 0) {
        history.remove(history.size() - 1);
        if (history.size() > 0) {
            setContentView(history.get(history.size() - 1));
        } else {
            finish();
        }
    } else {
        finish();
    }
    } catch (Exception ex) {
    }
}

public int getHistorySize() {
    return history.size();
}

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    try {
        CustomActivityGroup.group.back();
    } catch (Exception ex) {

    }
    return;
}
}

and in my TabActivity:

  intent = new Intent().setClass(this, CustomActivityGroup.class);

    spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("tab_2").setIndicator("Sign up",getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.signup)).setContent(intent);
    tabHost.addTab(spec);

but when I click on corresponding tab I get

What I’m doing wrong?

Answer 1

I found the reason of this issue. I added my FragmentActivities to ActivityGroup and then used them in the TabHost. When I clicked the button which called ProgressDialog I got this exception. I should create it like this

progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(getActivity().getParent());

, not

 progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(getActivity());
