java - Changing the view within the Android Tab Widget

Question

So I have my tab layout working as demonstrated in the Android example:

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

Resources res = getResources(); // Resource object to get Drawables
TabHost tabHost = getTabHost();  // The activity TabHost
TabHost.TabSpec spec;  // Resusable TabSpec for each tab
Intent intent;  // Reusable Intent for each tab

// Create an Intent to launch an Activity for the tab (to be reused)
intent = new Intent().setClass(this, ArtistActivity.class);

// Initialize a TabSpec for each tab and add it to the TabHost
spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("artists").setIndicator("Artists", res.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_tab_artists)).setContent(intent);
tabHost.addTab(spec);

// Do the same for the other tabs
intent = new Intent().setClass(this, AlbumsActivity.class);
spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("albums").setIndicator("Albums", res.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_tab_artists)).setContent(intent);
tabHost.addTab(spec);

intent = new Intent().setClass(this, SongsActivity.class);
spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("songs").setIndicator("Songs", res.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_tab_artists)).setContent(intent);
tabHost.addTab(spec);

Now, in one of the tab's activities I've declared a button and would like to bring in a new view. If I create a new intent it will push a new view and the tabs are gone. Is it possible to switch the currently selected view with a new view?

Answer 1

Yes it is very much possible .. You have to use ActivityGroup for this purpose..

Instead of Adding a activity to a TabHost.. You have to add ActivityGroup.. Each Activity Group is having its Activity..

THis is simple to implement
