How to Programmatically go back to a Tab Activity from sub activity

Question

I created 4 tabs using tabHost in my application,when i click a button in the the first tabActivity(Request.class), it will go to another class called Edit.class, I want to go back from Edit.class to Request.class i tried intent to pass from one activity to another

   Intent intent = new Intent(Edit.this,Request.class);
 startActivity(intent);

it worked, but it doesnt show the tabs in the Request class, it load only the xml corresponding to Request.class. How to solve this?

                   |Tab1|Tab2|Tab3|Tab4|

                     |
                Edit.class

Here Tab1 is the Request.class, I need to go back from Edit.class to Request.class, How it possible?

Answer 1

Try the following code:

public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
        if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {

         Intent i = new Intent(Activity1.this,Activity2.class);
             startActivity(i);  

        return true;
    }
    return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
