Calling tab of a Activity from other Activity

I have a MainActivity and I am using android.support.design.widget.TabLayout for the tabview with Viewpager.

Now If i am in some other activity and from this activity if I want to go to the 3rd tab of the MainActivity, how to achieve this.

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • Do the following.

    at the MainActivity class at the onCreate method after initializing the tabLayout write below code

    int index = getIntent().getIntExtra("SelectedIndex",0);
tabLayoutObject.getTabAt(index).select();

    And from place from where you want to redirect to MainActivity write following

    Intent intent = new Intent(this,MainActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("SelectedIndex",2) //what ever the index is
startActivity(intent);

    Hope this works for you
