setcurrenttab from preference

Question

The default tab that is displayed in my app is tab 0. I would like when Preference uso is clicked, to change the currentTab to 1, as well as the next time the app opens, tab 1 is displayed instead of tab 0.

This is the Preferences.java contents:

package com.fbisoft.uowt;

import android.os.Bundle; import android.preference.Preference; import android.preference.PreferenceActivity; import android.preference.Preference.OnPreferenceClickListener; import android.widget.TabHost; import android.widget.Toast;

public class Preferences extends PreferenceActivity {

/** Called when the activity is first created. */

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences);

        getPreferenceManager().findPreference("uso").setOnPreferenceClickListener(new OnPreferenceClickListener()
    {
        @Override
        public boolean onPreferenceClick(Preference preference)
        {
            TabHost.setCurrentTab(1);

            return true;
        }
    });
}

}

The "TabHost.setCurrentTab(1);" gives me an error "Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method setCurrentTab(int) from the type TabHost"

Answer 1

You need to have your activity that has the TabHost watch for preference changes, then change your tab there. You cannot tell the TabHost class to change a tab.
