To summarize the link that Rukmal Dias provided. Here's what you do:

1. Change your current Activity (that's in a tab) to derive from ActivityGroup
2. Create a new intent for the Activity you want to switch to

3. Copy/Paste and call this function in your current activity where "id" is the "android:id" for the layout of the new activity you want to switch to

    public void replaceContentView(String id, Intent newIntent){
         View view = getLocalActivityManager().startActivity(id,newIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP)) .getDecorView(); 
         this.setContentView(view);}
   

Here's an example of how I make the call to switch views from my current Tabbed Activity:

public void switchToNextActivity(View view)
{
    Intent myIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MyNextActivity.class);
    replaceContentView("next_activity", myIntent);
}
