My Problem is, I have multiple activities under a single tab of TabActivity but the problem is if i am move from one activity to another activity more than three time at that time the “java.lang.StackOverflowError” is occurred, sorry for my bad English communication.

Any help would be appreciated.

My Code is:-

FirstActivity.java

public class FirstActivity extends ActivityGroup implements
        OnClickListener {

    Button mBtnAdd;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.screen1);
        mBtnAdd = (Button) findViewById(R.id.mBtnAddManageAccount);
        mBtnAdd.setOnClickListener(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        if (v == mBtnAdd) {
            Intent mInSecond = new Intent(v.getContext(), SecondActivity.class);
            replaceContentView("SecondActivity", mInSecond);
        }
    }

    public void replaceContentView(String id, Intent newIntent) {
        View view = getLocalActivityManager().startActivity(id,
                newIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP))
                .getDecorView();
        this.setContentView(view);
    }
}

SecondActivity.java

public class SecondActivity extends ActivityGroup implements
        OnClickListener {

    Button mBtnBack;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.screen2);
        mBtnBack=(Button)findViewById(R.id.mBtnBackNewCustomer);
        mBtnBack.setOnClickListener(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        if(v==mBtnBack){
            Intent mInBack = new Intent(v.getContext(),
                    FirstActivity.class);
            replaceContentView("FirstActivity", mInBack);
        }
    }

    public void replaceContentView(String id, Intent newIntent) {
        View view = getLocalActivityManager().startActivity(id,
                newIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP))
                .getDecorView();
        this.setContentView(view);
    }
}

Here is my solution

public class ActivityStack extends ActivityGroup {

  private Stack<String> stack;

  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    if (stack == null) stack = new Stack<String>();
    //start default activity
    push("FirstStackActivity", new Intent(this, FirstStackActivity.class));
  }

  @Override
  public void finishFromChild(Activity child) {
    pop();
  }

  @Override
  public void onBackPressed() {
    pop();
  }


  public void push(String id, Intent intent) {
    Window window = getLocalActivityManager().startActivity(id, intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP));
    if (window != null) {
      stack.push(id);
      setContentView(window.getDecorView());
    }
  }

  public void pop() {
    if (stack.size() == 1) finish();
    LocalActivityManager manager = getLocalActivityManager();
    manager.destroyActivity(stack.pop(), true);
    if (stack.size() > 0) {
      Intent lastIntent = manager.getActivity(stack.peek()).getIntent();
      Window newWindow = manager.startActivity(stack.peek(), lastIntent);
      setContentView(newWindow.getDecorView());
    }
  }
}

Launch tab

Intent intent = new Intent().setClass(this, ActivityStack.class);
TabHost.TabSpec spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("tabId")
spec.setContent(intent);

Call next activity

public class FirstStackActivity extends Activity {
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    TextView textView = new TextView(this);
    textView.setText("First Stack Activity ");
    textView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
      @Override
      public void onClick(View v) {
          Intent intent = new Intent();
          intent.setClass(getParent(), SecondStackActivity .class);
          ActivityStack activityStack = (ActivityStack) getParent();
          activityStack.push("SecondStackActivity", intent);


      }
    });
    setContentView(textView);
  }
}

Call next again

public class SecondStackActivity extends Activity {
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    TextView textView = new TextView(this);
    textView.setText("First Stack Activity ");
    textView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
      @Override
      public void onClick(View v) {
          Intent intent = new Intent();
          intent.setClass(getParent(), ThirdStackActivity .class);
          ActivityStack activityStack = (ActivityStack) getParent();
          activityStack.push("ThirdStackActivity", intent);


      }
    });
    setContentView(textView);
  }
}
