Problem with using duplicated class in TabHost

I'm having some problem using a ListActivity inside a TabHost. I only want to use one class to show different lists (which I manage), but the problem开发者_开发百科 is that when I click on a new tab, the list doesn't get updated/populated. I found one way to solve it, and that was to create duplicated classes (Listclass1.java, Listclass2.java...). Really not great coding practice.

Here is some of my tabhost code:

intent = new Intent().setClass(this, ListCreator.class);
        intent.putExtra("NAME", "abilities");       
        this.addTab("", R.drawable.abilities, intent);

intent = new Intent().setClass(this, ListCreator.class);
        intent.putExtra("NAME", "map"); 
        this.addTab("", R.drawable.map_rules, intent);

And here is the Listclass:

package no.heroclix.rules;

import heroclix.Rules.R;
import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class ListCreator extends ListActivity {

    private String NAME;

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

        NAME = getIntent().getExtras().getString("NAME");
        Log.d("List", NAME);

        final String[] rules;
        if(NAME.equals("abilities")) rules = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.abilities_names);
        else if(NAME.equals("map")) rules = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.map_rules_names);
        else if(NAME.equals("objects")) rules = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.objects_names);
        else if(NAME.equals("ata")) rules = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.ata_names);
        else if(NAME.equals("feats")) rules = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.feats_names);
        else rules = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.bfc_names);

        setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.listrow, rules));
        ListView lw = getListView();
        lw.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
        lw.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> av, View v, int position,
                    long id) {
                Intent myIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), ListInfo.class);
                myIntent.putExtra("NAME", NAME);
                myIntent.putExtra("POSITION", position);
                myIntent.putExtra("SIZE", rules.length);
                startActivityForResult(myIntent, 0);
            }

        });
    }
}

Any clues?

Edit: I should mention that this worked for a while (not using duplicated classes), but after I did some change (that I have removed) it doesn't work anymore.

If I understand correctly, you don't really need to extend ListActivity, and you're trying to do something partially like Is it realizable on Android?

How about TabHost.OnTabChangeListener?

"Interface definition for a callback to be invoked when tab changed". You could use that to update the tabs upon switching between them.
