I'm trying to store the index of the currently selected tab in onSaveInstanceState so I can restore it. However the getCurrentTab apparantely gives me back the String I used in the etTabHost().newTabSpec, which I find a bit weird since the documentation says it returns an int and setCurrentTab also taking an int. Does anyone know how I can get the index of my currently selected tab so I can restore it?
A:
you are on the right way use setOnTabChangedListener to get your selected tab.
public class MainActivity extends TabActivity {
static TabHost mytabs;
mytabs = getTabHost();
mytabs.setOnTabChangedListener(new OnTabChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onTabChanged(String arg0) {
Log.i("***Selected Tab", "Im currently in tab with index::" + mytabs.getCurrentTab());
}
});

I currently don't have access to my laptop with the code so I'll have to try this tomorrow, but why would it make any difference whether I used getCurrentTab in the onTabChanged event or in my onSaveInstanceState?And thank you for your current answer.
