title: Changing the view within the Android Tab Widget
body: <p>So I have my tab layout working as demonstrated in the <a href="http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-tabwidget.html" rel="nofollow">Android example</a>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.main);
  
  Resources res = getResources(); // Resource object to get Drawables
  TabHost tabHost = getTabHost();  // The activity TabHost
  TabHost.TabSpec spec;  // Resusable TabSpec for each tab
  Intent intent;  // Reusable Intent for each tab
  
  // Create an Intent to launch an Activity for the tab (to be reused)
  intent = new Intent().setClass(this, ArtistActivity.class);
  
  // Initialize a TabSpec for each tab and add it to the TabHost
  spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("artists").setIndicator("Artists", res.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_tab_artists)).setContent(intent);
  tabHost.addTab(spec);
  
  // Do the same for the other tabs
  intent = new Intent().setClass(this, AlbumsActivity.class);
  spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("albums").setIndicator("Albums", res.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_tab_artists)).setContent(intent);
  tabHost.addTab(spec);
  
  intent = new Intent().setClass(this, SongsActivity.class);
  spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("songs").setIndicator("Songs", res.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_tab_artists)).setContent(intent);
  tabHost.addTab(spec);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now, in one of the tab's activities I've declared a button and would like to bring in a new view. If I create a new intent it will push a new view and the tabs are gone. Is it possible to switch the currently selected view with a new view?</p>
