Keep the last selected tab after moving to page 2 android

i have two tabs tab1 and tab2 on my homescreen by default tab1 is selected ,I select tab2 and go to other screen when i return i found tab1 is selected problem-i want the tab which was selected previously should retain selected when go to another screen

Can you explain a bit more? Do you mean switch from one view to another then go back?

brief your problem.

You need to save the currently selected tab yourself:

@Override
protected void onSaveInstanceState (Bundle state) {
super.onSaveInstanceState(state);
state.putInt(POSITION, getCurrentItem());
}
