Android TabWidget detect click on current tab

After gothrough many solutions for tab listener, I have found very simple solution...

getTabHost().setOnTabChangedListener(new OnTabChangeListener() {@Overridepublic void onTabChanged(String tabId) {int i = getTabHost().getCurrentTab(); Log.i("@@@@@@@@ ANN CLICK TAB NUMBER", "------" + i);    if (i == 0) {            Log.i("@@@@@@@@@@ Inside onClick tab 0", "onClick tab");    }    else if (i ==1) {            Log.i("@@@@@@@@@@ Inside onClick tab 1", "onClick tab");    }  }});

After a lot of thinking about this, the solution ended up being easier than I thought. What I did was just create a new child class that extends TabHost and override the setCurrentTab method like so:

package com.mycompany.Views;import android.content.Context;import android.util.AttributeSet;import android.widget.TabHost;import android.widget.Toast;public class ReclickableTabHost extends TabHost {    public ReclickableTabHost(Context context) {        super(context);    }    public ReclickableTabHost(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {        super(context, attrs);    }    @Override    public void setCurrentTab(int index) {        if (index == getCurrentTab()) {            // FIRE OFF NEW LISTENER        } else {            super.setCurrentTab(index);        }    }}

To use your new class instead of the typical TabHost just edit your layout xml file with:

<FrameLayout    android:layout_height="match_parent"    android:layout_width="0dip"    android:layout_weight=".8">    <com.myCompany.Views.ReclickableTabHost        android:id="@android:id/tabhost"        android:layout_width="fill_parent"        android:layout_height="fill_parent"        android:visibility="gone">        <LinearLayout            android:orientation="vertical"            android:layout_width="fill_parent"            android:layout_height="fill_parent">            <TabWidget                android:id="@android:id/tabs"                android:layout_width="fill_parent"                android:layout_height="wrap_content"                android:background="@drawable/tab_unselected_holo"/>            <FrameLayout                android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"                android:layout_width="fill_parent"                android:layout_height="fill_parent">            </FrameLayout>        </LinearLayout>    </com.myCompany.Views.ReclickableTabHost>

Hope this helps...

I think I have found a solution, here follows a sample code:

    intent = new Intent(this, HomeGroup.class);    View tab1 = _inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_tab_1,null);    homeTab.setTag("Tab1");    spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("Tab1").setIndicator(tab1).setContent(intent);    tabHost.addTab(spec);    View tab2 = _inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_tab_2,null);    homeTab.setTag("Tab2");    spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("Tab2").setIndicator(tab2).setContent(intent);    tabHost.addTab(spec);    View tab3 = _inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_tab_3,null);    homeTab.setTag("Tab3");    spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("Tab3").setIndicator(tab3).setContent(intent);    tabHost.addTab(spec);    tabHost.setOnTabChangedListener(this);    //click on seleccted tab    int numberOfTabs = tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildCount();    for(int t=0; t<numberOfTabs; t++){        tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(t).setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {            @Override            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {                if(event.getAction()==MotionEvent.ACTION_UP){                    String currentSelectedTag = MainTab.this.getTabHost().getCurrentTabTag();                    String currentTag = (String)v.getTag();                    Log.d(this.getClass().getSimpleName(), "currentSelectedTag: " + currentSelectedTag + " currentTag: " + currentTag);                    if(currentSelectedTag.equalsIgnoreCase(currentTag)){                        MainTab.this.getTabHost().setCurrentTabByTag(currentTag);                        String newSelectedTabTag = MainTab.this.getTabHost().getCurrentTabTag();                        if(newSelectedTabTag.toLowerCase().indexOf("tab1")!=-1){                            //do smthg                        }else if(newSelectedTabTag.toLowerCase().indexOf("tab1")!=-1){                            //do smthg                        }else if(newSelectedTabTag.toLowerCase().indexOf("tab3")!=-1){                            //do smthg                        }                        return true;                    }                }                return false;            }        });    }       

Probably it is possible to improve it, but this does the work for me!
