Thanks again for your time helping me with this, very much appreciated. The "content" I wish to include in each tab are WebViews, I hadn't really thought about it but I may be able to achieve what I want without using intent-based tab content.
Just out of interest, my Activity is getting rather large, is there a way to define a WebView in a different class from the one creating the TabHost and just reference the WebView (from its individual class) when inserting it as content to the tab?
