I am using a TabWidget that contains a List in one tab. What I want to do is when a user selects an item, a webview is shown in that tab.
If the user then wants to go back to the list, they would click on the list tab.
I can get the webview up that replaces the whole tabwidget but don't know how to leave the tabs and show a webview.
Any help greatly appreciated
THIS IS NOT AN ANSWER, BUT COULD NOT GET ALL THIS INTO COMMENT
I have a TabWidget containing 3 tabs.
These are added using an intent as shown below
intent = new Intent().setClass(this, DuaList.class); spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("list").setIndicator("List", res.getDrawable(R.drawable.tab_sel)) .setContent(intent); tabHost.addTab(spec);
One of the tabs contains an expandable list. When the user clicks on a child, the following gets called:
public boolean onChildClick(ExpandableListView parent, View v, int groupPosition, int childPosition, long id) { Intent i = new Intent(); i.setClassName("com.ts", "com.ts.ShowData"); startActivity(i); return true; }
ShowData is an activity that contains a WebView. The above results in the WebView being shown that fills the screen.
What I would like to do is for the WebView to replace the expandable list view in the tab. Clicking on the actual tab should show the expandable list view again.
The trick is to use ActivityGroup!

The fun bit then becomes how to be able to disable the original view in the tab....
This can be done by adding a OnClickListener for the partciular tab
getTabWidget().getChildAt().setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
}
