I am implementing an app where user can search some songs in a separate tab.The search results for a song are info like lyrics, meaning etc. From the results, user can mark certain songs as favorite which are in another tab. When I click on the favorite songs tab, it should switch to the first tab with fragment for the search results. Here are more specific details:
- Main Activity spawns action bar which creates 2 tabs.
- Search Tab - Separate Fragment, Results- separate fragment
Favorites Tab - Separate Fragment
public class TabsListener<T extends Fragment> implements ActionBar.TabListener { private Fragment mFragment; private final Activity mActivity; private final String mTag; private final Class<T> mClass; /** Constructor used each time a new tab is created. * @param activity The host Activity, used to instantiate the fragment * @param tag The identifier tag for the fragment * @param clz The fragment's Class, used to instantiate the fragment */ public TabsListener(Activity activity, String tag, Class<T> clz) { mActivity = activity; mTag = tag; mClass = clz; } /* The following are each of the ActionBar.TabListener callbacks */ @SuppressLint("NewApi") public void onTabSelected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) { // Check if the fragment is already initialized if (mFragment == null) { // If not, instantiate and add it to the activity mFragment = Fragment.instantiate(mActivity, mClass.getName()); ft.add(android.R.id.content, mFragment, mTag); } else { // If it exists, simply attach it in order to show it ft.attach(mFragment); } } @SuppressLint("NewApi") public void onTabUnselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) { if (mFragment != null) { // Detach the fragment, because another one is being attached ft.detach(mFragment); //ft.remove(mFragment); } } @SuppressLint("NewApi") public void onTabReselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) { ft.attach(mFragment); // User selected the already selected tab. Usually do nothing. }
}
How can I implement this switching from one tab to another programatically for Action Bar?
