[android-developers] Re: auto switching the tab being viewed

your closing statement "...i can stick into a handler ( using a
handler since the thread cant touch the
UI itself ) that brings that activity, tab to the front or selected."
seems to me the answer.

that is, put a handler in the "realizing" activity to periodically
realize something has happened. then call TabHost.setCurrentTab() to
automatize tab switching. (prepare to handle onPause and onResume)

i feel it should work.
