android无法从一个选项卡切换到另一个

Question

I want to switch from one Tab to another tab. For that i am using below code:

public void switchTabInActivity(int indexTabToSwitchTo){
    AccidentTabActivity ParentActivity;
    ParentActivity = (AccidentTabActivity) getParent(); // here i am getting exception
    ParentActivity.switchTab(indexTabToSwitchTo);
    }

I am calling this method from which i want to navigate.

But i got exception of cast class.

Answer 1

Try to declare tabhost as static and call in child activity as below..

Instead private TabHost tabHost;

try static TabHost tabHost;

And in your Child Activity

 AccidentTabActivity.tabHost.setCurrentTab(2);

Then you can set your current tab as you want.

Answer 2

From your exception getParent() is not giving you an instance of AccidentTabActivity . Can you show us AccidentTabActivity and TabGroupHomeActivity classes? I don't think we'll be able to help you debug without thoses classes.

Ps: Java conventions stipulates not to start variable names with uppercase as in your code AccidentTabActivity ParentActivity; see http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/variables.html . Not a critism, but your code will be more readable.
