Question

Im trying to change the title from the activities inside the Tab. but the title remains same as the Title given for TabActivity. I searched for the solution but not succeeded yet. is there a way to do it? please help me on this.

Thanks

You could use the singleton methodology with the TabActivity, then use This Method to change the title.

MyTabs.java

class MyTabs extends TabActivity {
    private static MyTabs theInstance;

    public static getInstance() {
        return MyTabs.theInstance();
    }

    public MyTabs() {
        MyTabs.theInstance = this;
    }

    ...
}

ActivityInTab.java

...
TabActivity tabActivity = MyTabs.getInstance();
((TextView)tabActivity.getTabHost().getTabWidget().getChildAt(0).findViewById(android.R.id.title)).setText("New");
...

(Obviously this isn’t a complete singleton implementation, but it will suffice for what you’re doing. Since the activity can’t exist without the parent container, it’s safe to assume a reference has been set in the constructor when the object was created.)
