How To Switch Tabs Programmatically In Android From Fragment?

I have implemented a TabActivity which extends FragmentActivity. It has 5 tabs each tab is a Fragment. What i am looking for is to switch between the tabs programmatically. For eg:

Solution 1:

for Material support you switch the tablayout from a fragment in the following ways:

1) send a broadcast that is received by the parent activity which then modifies the tab.

context.sendBroadcast(yourintent);

2.) A modification of vino's answer,

TabLayout tabhost = (TabLayout) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.tabLayout);
tabhost.getTabAt(2).select();

tablayout is the id of the tablayout as defined in your main xml.

Solution 2:

Finally i can switch between the tabs programatically from Fragments using the following line of code

TabHosthost= (TabHost) getActivity().findViewById(android.R.id.tabhost);
  host.setCurrentTab(2);

Hope it will help some one.

Solution 3:

I have tabs (using TabLayout not TabHost(depreciated))(with Fragments) in my Main Activity in which in my first tab(fragment) with a click listener in the fragment which is for changing the current tab in my MainActivity.

I successfully change the current tab via the below in the onCreateView() method within the fragment.

TabLayout tabs = (TabLayout)((MainActivity)getActivity()).findViewById(R.id.tabs);
tabs.getTabAt(1).select();

Solution 4:

Take a look at this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5460651/198996

((TabActivity) getParent()).getTabHost().setCurrentTab(2)

Solution 5:

If you're using TabLayout instead of TabHost , I suggest a modification to BENN1TH's answer that worked for me:

  TabLayout tabs = getActivity().findViewById(R.id.tab_layout);
  tabs.getTabAt(tabNumber).select(); 

(The difference is R.id.tab_layout)
