Programmatically switch tabs in Android using ActionBarSherlock

actionbarsherlock, android, android-actionbar

Solution

Try calling actionBar.setSelectedNavigationItem(x):

int position = 1;
getSupportActionBar().setSelectedNavigationItem(position);

Problem

I couldn't find any info about this but, how can i programmatically switch tabs in ActionBarSherlock? Normally when i want to switch views i'd use something like: ``` Intent intentSecondView = new Intent(this, SecondView.class); this.startActivity(intentSecondView); ``` But obviously this doesn't work, because the views in the tabs are fragments. So is there a way to switch between tabs by code when using ActionBarSherlock?? This is how i add an actionbar with tabs currently. In my onCreate method i have: ``` mViewPager = new ViewPager(this); mViewPager.setId(R.id.pager); setContentView(mViewPager); ActionBar bar = getSupportActionBar(); bar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS); mTabsAdapter = new TabsAdapter(this, mViewPager); mTabsAdapter.addTab( bar.newTab().setText("Fragment 1"), MyFragment1.class, null); mTabsAdapter.addTab( bar.newTab().setText("Fragment 2"), MyFragment2.class, null); ``` I added nothing in my AndroidManifest file to create the tabs. It's all programmatically.
