below is edited code where I have given one sample to include Activity inside Fragment Tabs. Please let me know in case you couldn't understand anything:
//FragmentActivity having tabs
package com.example.tabhost;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.TabHost;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {
Context mContext;
Intent mIntent;
TabHost mTabHost;
ViewPager mViewPager;
TabsAdapterActivity mTabsAdapter;
//Setup tab
private void setupTabHost() {
mTabHost = (TabHost) findViewById(android.R.id.tabhost);
mTabHost.setup();
mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
mTabsAdapter = new TabsAdapterActivity(this, mTabHost, mViewPager);
}
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mContext = MainActivity.this;
setupTabHost();
addTab(R.string.mycards,"My Cards Category", MyCardsActivity.class); //My Cards
addTab(R.string.yourcards,"Your Cards Category", YourCardsActivity.class); //Shared Cards
}
//Add tab
private void addTab(int headingTextId, String tabSpec, Class<?> fragmentclass){
LayoutInflater inflater_mycard = getLayoutInflater();
View view = inflater_mycard.inflate(R.layout.tab_style, null);
TextView tab_heading = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.tab_heading);
tab_heading.setText(getResources().getString(headingTextId));
mTabsAdapter.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec(tabSpec).setIndicator(view), fragmentclass, null);
}
}
//TabsAdapter designed to include Activity
package com.example.tabhost;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Rect;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.view.PagerAdapter;
import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.TabHost;
import android.widget.TabWidget;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import com.example.tabhost.TabsAdapterFragment.DummyTabFactory;
import com.example.tabhost.TabsAdapterFragment.TabInfo;
/**
* This is a helper class that implements the management of tabs and all
* details of connecting a ViewPager with associated TabHost. It relies on a
* trick. Normally a tab host has a simple API for supplying a View or
* Intent that each tab will show. This is not sufficient for switching
* between pages. So instead we make the content part of the tab host
* 0dp high (it is not shown) and the TabsAdapter supplies its own dummy
* view to show as the tab content. It listens to changes in tabs, and takes
* care of switch to the correct paged in the ViewPager whenever the selected
* tab changes.
