Problems on an activitygroup under tabshost

I'm developing an application that have an activity Group inside a tabhost., so i have working s stack of activities inside the same tab.

The problem emerges when i try the search interface and inside this tab and nothing happens, if I launch the search Interface in another activity works normally".

Also, if I try to to execute a method from the layout xml with the "onClick" option the app crashes 

01-06 10:09:24.533: E/AndroidRuntime(1404): Caused by: android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException: Unable to add window -- token android.app.LocalActivityManager$LocalActivityRecord@40538fa0 is not valid; is your activity running?

01-06 10:09:24.533: E/AndroidRuntime(1404):     at android.app.Activity.showDialog(Activity.java:2685)

I also noted that if i intent to display a dialog inside this ActivityGroup crashes, but i overlap this issue getting the the context of the parent activity to display it.

m_ProgressDialog = ProgressDialog.show(getParent(), "Please wait", "Downloading info", true,false);

instead

    m_ProgressDialog = ProgressDialog.show(this, "Please wait", "Downloading info", true,false);

It could something to have a nested class?

do 

View viewToLoad = LayoutInflater.from(this.getParent()).inflate(R.layout.your_id, null);
setContentView(viewToLoad);

Remove the onClick method in the xml file and put a onClickListener on the button in java code. This will do the job ;)

I guess you're using 

setContentView(R.layout.your_id);

which causes the COntext Problems in the ActivityGroup.

Try using it this way:

View viewToLoad = LayoutInflater.from(this.getParent()).inflate(R.layout.your_id, null);
setContentView(viewToLoad);

And as a short note: You should maybe switch to fragments, because ActivityGroups are deprecated. They make a lot of trouble ...
