Answer 1

If you are using a Sections Pager Adapter, the simple thing to do would be using an onclick on image view or button like below:

In your starting activity (from where you want to go) use put extra to send some information to another activity

ivPhotoAlbums.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {

        // Send The Message Receiver ID & Name
        Intent intent = new Intent(v.getContext(), PhotosActivity.class);
        intent.putExtra("viewpager_position", 1);
        v.getContext().startActivity(intent);

    }
});

In your activity in which you want to land (at the end of your setupViewPager() function) catch that extra and use it as position

int position = 0;
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
if (extras != null) {
    position = extras.getInt("viewpager_position");
}
viewPager.setCurrentItem(position);

Given the Assumption that your setupViewPager() function looks like below in your destination activity

SectionsPagerAdapter adapter = new SectionsPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());

adapter.addFragment(new FriendsAlbumsFragment()); //index 0
adapter.addFragment(new MyAlbumsFragment()); //index 1
adapter.addFragment(new AddPhotosFragment()); //index 2

final ViewPager viewPager = findViewById(R.id.l_center_view_pager_view_pager);
viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);

TabLayout tabLayout = findViewById(R.id.l_top_tabs_tabs);

tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(viewPager);
tabLayout.getTabAt(0).setIcon(R.drawable.ic_friends_photos);
tabLayout.getTabAt(1).setIcon(R.drawable.ic_my_photos);
tabLayout.getTabAt(2).setIcon(R.drawable.ic_add_photos);

And Your SectionsPagerAdapter class looks like below (separate public class)

public class SectionsPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {

    private List mFragmentList = new ArrayList<>();

    public SectionsPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {

        super(fm);

    }

    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int i) {

        return mFragmentList.get(i);
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {

        return mFragmentList.size();
    }

    public void addFragment(Fragment fragment) {

        mFragmentList.add(fragment);
    }
}

And your center view pager layout is

Included in another file like this (or not included - in my case it was included)

This will take you right from an activity to a fragment (in another activity) or from a fragment in one activity to a fragment in another activity...
