How to re-create activity each time the tab is visited

Question

I have a TabActivity, and I want to re-create the activity with the tab is visited(calling the content of onCreate() each visit) . how ?

Answer 1

You could use ....

this.finish(); // this is instance of TabActivity

.... to close the current one and create a new intent using

Intent intent = new Intent(this, TabActivity.class);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK) 
startActivity(intent);

Edit: Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP seems in fact to work as well will probably not work, because though it is intended to bring an existing activity is just brought to front (without recreation).
