How to launch an activity with a specific tab?

Question

I\'ve gone through many examples, questions and tutorials but I\'ve never seen an activity launch (launch a new intent) with a specific tab. I know that one can use .setCu

Answer 1

You will need to handle it yourself with setCurrentTab in the new activity's constructor.

While calling, you should put additional values in the intent -

Intent i = new Intent(this, MyTabActivity.class);
i.putExtra("FirstTab", 4);

And in constructor of MyTabActivity -

Intent i = getIntent();
int tabToOpen = i.getIntExtra("FirstTab", -1);
if (tabToOpen!=-1) {
    // Open the right tab
}
