How to switch tabs programmatically in Android from fragment?

android, android-fragments, android-tabhost

Solution

Finally i can switch between the tabs programatically from Fragments using the following line of code

  TabHost host = (TabHost) getActivity().findViewById(android.R.id.tabhost);
  host.setCurrentTab(2);

Hope it will help some one.

Problem

I have implemented a `TabActivity` which extends `FragmentActivity`. It has 5 tabs each tab is a `Fragment`. What i am looking for is to switch between the tabs programmatically. For eg: if i am in tab4. On button click I want to move from `tab4` to `tab1`. Tried a lot but couldn't find the solution for this. Tried with the following but it doesn't help. From SecondTab ``` public void switchTabInActivity(String value){ FirstTab parent; parent = (FirstTab) getActivity().getParent(); parent.switchTab(value); } ``` TabActivity ``` /** To Change Tab*/ public void switchTab(String tabno){ this.onTabChanged(tabno); } ```
