Answer 1

You need to use intents to different activities, or in that case of tabs.

Go to Android Common Tasks

And look at the subject below "some intent examples". This will get you started.

You basically need to put whatever values you want into a bundle and pass that over to the new activity using intent.putextras();

Answer 2

the correct way is setting a static field into the activity that creates the tabs

 public class greformanews extends TabActivity {

       public static String JorgesysTitle;
...
...
...

so in your Activity defined in tab 1

 @Override
 protected void onPause() { 
    greformanews.JorgesysTitle = "JORGESYS =)";
 super.onPause();
}

in your Activity defined in tab 2

//get  value defined in Activity 1 !:)
String Title =  greformanews.JorgesysTitle

Answer 3

another response sharing an ArrayList between tabs.
