Change QTabWidget tab using a button

Question

I have developed a simple GUI application using Qt designer containing a tab-widget in a main window. The tab-widget consists of three pages with a different function (Tab1 = 'Home', Tab2 = 'Inspection', Tab3 = 'View Results').

I would like the user to press a push-button (Inspection/View Results) on Tab1 in order to jump into Tab2 and Tab3 without manually clicking on the desired tab. Could anyone advise me how to do it? I have attached a snapshot image for better info:

Below is my code:

from __future__ import division
from skimage.measure import compare_ssim as ssim
#from PyQt4.uic import photo_rc
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import sys
import cv2
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui, uic
from PyQt4.QtGui import *

gui_file = 'i-MIS Alpha.ui'  # Enter GUI file name


[Ui_MainWindow, QtBaseClass] = uic.loadUiType(gui_file)
#[Ui_DialogBox, QtBaseClass] = uic.loadUiType(gui_dialog)


class Inspection(QtGui.QMainWindow, Ui_MainWindow):

  def __init__(self):
    QtGui.QMainWindow.__init__(self)
    Ui_MainWindow.__init__(self)
    self.setupUi(self)
    self.capture_button.clicked.connect(self.captureImage)
    self.inspect_button.clicked.connect(self.displayImage)
    self.deviceBox.activated.connect(self.selectDeviceCombo)
    self.startInspectionBtn.clicked.connect(self.enterLotID)
    self.inspect_button.clicked.connect(self.displayResults)
    self.viewResultBtn.clicked.connect(self.viewResults)


 def enterLotID(self):
    title, ok = QInputDialog.getText(self, 'Input Dialog', 'Enter the Lot ID:')
    if ok:
        self.accept.setText(str(title))



 def displayImage(self):  # Perform image comparison at 'Display' tab

    self.sample_label.setScaledContents(True)
    self.sample_label.setPixmap(QtGui.QPixmap(sample_label))

 def selectDeviceCombo(self, event):
    self.var_Selected = self.deviceBox.currentText()
    #print ('The user selected value now is:')
    print ('Device = ' + self.var_Selected)

    if self.var_Selected.lower() == 'xf35':
      print("Great! Device Id is - " + self.var_Selected + '!')
      source_label ='c:/Users/mohd_faizal4/Desktop/Python/Image/Picture 4.jpg'

      self.source_label.setScaledContents(True)
      self.source_label.setPixmap(QtGui.QPixmap(source_label))
    else:
      print ("Pls select device id. It's reguired field!")


 def captureImage(self):  # Capture image and display on 'Sample' column under Inspection

    cam = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

    i = 0
    while i < 10:
        ret, frame = cam.read()
        cv2.imshow('test', frame)
        #self.sample_label.setScaledContents(True)
        #self.sample_label.setPixmap(QtGui.QPixmap(sample_label))
        if not ret:
            break
        k = cv2.waitKey(2)

        if k%256 == 27:
        # ESC pressed
         print("Escape hit, closing...")
         break
        if k % 256 == 32:
            # SPACE pressed
            img_name = "XBU 12345.6_{}.jpeg".format(i)
            cv2.imwrite(img_name, frame)
            print("{}".format(img_name))
            i += 1

    cam.release()
    cv2.destroyAllWindows()


 def viewResults(self):


 def displayResults(self):
    label_vid01 = 'c:/Users/mohd_faizal4/Desktop/Python/Image/Picture 7.jpg'
    self.label_vid01.setScaledContents(True)
    self.label_vid01.setPixmap(QtGui.QPixmap(label_vid01))

 if __name__ == '__main__':
   app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
   Window = Inspection()
   Window.show()
   sys.exit()

you can use :

setCurrentIndex (self, int index)

with index 1 for second and 2 for third tab

or

setCurrentWidget (self, QWidget widget)
