• For tabgroups. I saved the tabgroup object back onto the Ti.UI object for later usage. When I want to switch tabs and go back to the home/root/initial window of the tab, I found the simplest way was to just close and reopen the tab group with activeTab set to the index you wanted. It's cheesy but seems to work. I would think the same method would work for navgroups as well.

  In the app.js file:

  // created an object called tabGroup that has already
  // been setup with all my tabs
  Ti.UI.tabGroup = tabGroup;
  

  In another js file for a tab:

  add_button.addEventListener('click',function(){
      Ti.UI.tabGroup.setActiveTab(1);
      Ti.UI.tabGroup.close();
      Ti.UI.tabGroup.open();
  });
  

  It works better than I thought it would actually. My screen doesn't seem to show the fact I just closed and opened the tabgroup.

• I am having exactly the same issue, although I am switching from a different tab. The switch via setActiveTab is fine but … on a button click I want to send the user back to the first window in the drill. I too am using a tabgroup, which simulates the effect perfectly, if you click on the tabgroup button at the bottom of the app.

  Is there a fireEvent that can take place? I am already using setActiveTab() but that takes me to the drill at the level it was left.

  Thanks,

  Tim..

• My workaround for this problem when using a navigation group was simply re-open the root window for the nav group (and close the old one).

• What I do was let the main Window into a function, so when the user click on "Home" button, i just call home() function.
