Starting A Second Activity In a Tabview

My problem is this:

I have 3 tabs, each with an assigned activity. From one of those activities, I want to launch a second activity in the first activity's view (thereby keeping the tabview visible).

So far, I have tried a few approaches:

1 - adding an intent to the first activity's class and then calling startActivityForRes开发者_JAVA技巧ult(). This results in the tabview being lost and the second activity covering the screen.

2 - Using a ViewFlipper and adding the second activity as the flipped view.

If anyone can give any sort of direction on where I should be looking I will be extremely pleased :)

Thanks

Use THis to start the new Activity

View view = getLocalActivityManager().startActivity("tab1", new Intent(this,tab1.class) .addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP)) .getDecorView();

setContentView(view);
