[android-developers] Re: Start new activity in TAB
the activites are with in the same application , but the thing is that when the user clicks on a particular city i can start the activity which contains the forecast for that city but that new activity launches on the whole screen not within the current tab , i.e it doesn't replaces the activity that launched it with in the current tab rather it covers the whole screen .

[android-developers] Start new activity in TAB
i am working on a travelling application and i am using tabs and each tab has an activity i.e world clock in one tab ,weather data in another tab and so on with in the weather tab i am displaying the users selected cities and the scenario is that when the user selects a city that city's forecast is to be displayed and later to view details as well which is in another activity . so how can i launch this new activity from the already started activity with in the same tab ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
