How to start new actvity in the Current Tab on Button Click event in android

I have the MainActvity class which contains a Tab (indicator as Tab)

Here is my code:-

public class MainActivity extends TabActivity {
TabHost tabHost;
Context context = MainActivity.this;
TabSpec spec;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    TabHost tabHost = getTabHost();

    tabHost.addTab(tabHost
            .newTabSpec("Tab")
            .setIndicator("Tab")
            .setContent(
                    new Intent(this, MyActivityGroup.class)
                            .addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP)));

    tabHost.setCurrentTab(0);

}

}

this internally calling MyActvityGroup which extends the ActvityGroup class as.

public class MyActivityGroup extends ActivityGroup {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    // you van get the local activitymanager to start the new activity

    View view = getLocalActivityManager().startActivity(
            "ReferenceName",
            new Intent(this, NewActivity.class)
                    .addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP))
            .getDecorView();
    this.setContentView(view);

}
}

in NewActvity,java file i have done something like

public class NewActivity extends Activity {

Button btnGo;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.new_activity);

    btnGo = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnStartActivity);
    btnGo.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {

            Toast.makeText(NewActivity.this, "Clicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                    .show();

            Intent intent = new Intent();
            intent.setClass(getParent(), ButtonActivity.class);
            startActivity(intent);

        }
    });

}
}

now here this activity contains a button.
I want to start the new activity in the same tab area on the click event of this button, but it start in the full screen mode. I am not able to see my tab any more.
How can I start the activity in the current tab container.
I there something wrong with my ActvityGroup class or I am not starting the activity in the proper manner..?

Use below code instead of your code, it will solve your problem.

MyActivityGroup.java

public class MyActivityGroup extends ActivityGroup {

    private Stack<String> stack;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        if (stack == null) {
            stack = new Stack<String>();
        }

        push("HomeStackActivity", new Intent(this, NewActivity.class));
    }

    @Override
    public void finishFromChild(Activity child) {
        pop();
    }

    @Override
    public void onBackPressed() {
        pop();
    }

    public void push(String id, Intent intent) {
        Window window = getLocalActivityManager().startActivity(id,
                intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP));
        if (window != null) {
            stack.push(id);
            setContentView(window.getDecorView());
        }
    }

    public void pop() {
        if (stack.size() == 1) {
            finish();
        }
        LocalActivityManager manager = getLocalActivityManager();
        manager.destroyActivity(stack.pop(), true);
        if (stack.size() > 0) {
            Intent lastIntent = manager.getActivity(stack.peek()).getIntent()
                    .addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
            Window newWindow = manager.startActivity(stack.peek(), lastIntent);
            setContentView(newWindow.getDecorView());
        }
    }
}

NewActivity.java

public class NewActivity extends Activity {

    Button btnGo;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.new_activity);

        btnGo = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnStartActivity);
        btnGo.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {

                Toast.makeText(NewActivity.this, "Clicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

                Intent intent = new Intent();
                intent.setClass(getParent(), ButtonActivity.class);
                MyActivityGroup activityStack = (MyActivityGroup) getParent();
                activityStack.push("Button Activity", intent);                    
            }
        });
    }
}

Use fragments instead of activities. In TabHost use some FragmentActivity, and on button press replace fragment.

ActivityGroup Class is deprecated and it results in bad performance. Better you use Fragments for achieving the same. Please refer the below link.
