start new ListActivity from ListActivity within tabview

Question

i have tabview with 4 tabs and i am using TabHost to display tabs my application. every tab is filled by another class extends from ListActivity and here is the code

public class TabbedActivity extends TabActivity {

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.tab_layout);

    TabHost tabHost = getTabHost();

    // Tab for Catalog
    TabSpec catalogspec = tabHost.newTabSpec("Catalog");
    catalogspec.setIndicator("Complete Catalog Fall 2012", getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_catalog));
    Intent catalogIntent = new Intent(this, Category.class);
    catalogspec.setContent(catalogIntent);
// Adding all TabSpec to TabHost
    tabHost.addTab(catalogspec); // Adding catalog tab
}

and this the code at the other intent

public class Category extends ListActivity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {       
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.list_of_data);
 Categories = new ArrayList<String>();
    fillListCategories();

    myListItems = new ArrayList<String>();
    adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, Categories);
        this.setListAdapter(adapter);
}}

at the Listview there is list of items ,, my Point is how to set the Onclick to open another "ListActivity" in the same Tab ?!!

Answer 1

In your Category class, add an onClickListener like so:

public class Category extends ListActivity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {       
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.list_of_data);
Categories = new ArrayList<String>();
fillListCategories();

myListItems = new ArrayList<String>();
adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,   Categories);
    this.setListAdapter(adapter);
    this.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
  @Override
  public void onItemClick( AdapterView<?> parent, View item, 
                           int position, long id) {
    mSelectedCategory = (String)parent.getItemAtPosition(position);

    Intent intent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), ScreenTwo.class); 
            intent.putExtra("name", mSelectedCategory.(WHATEVER INFO YOU NEED ABOUT THE CATEGORY);
            startActivity(intent);  
  }
});
}}

ScreenTwo.java would look like the category class with the ListAdapter but with the information that was passed through the intent:

public class ScreenTwo extends ListActivity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {       
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.list_of_data);
Bundle b = getIntent().getExtras(); 
    String Name = b.getString("name");
Categories = new ArrayList<String>();
fillListCategories();

myListItems = new ArrayList<String>();
adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,    Categories);
    this.setListAdapter(adapter);
}}
