Currently I work on a tabhost layout.
In most android app the layout is:
tab1 | tab 2 ____________ Tab 1 content (if I press on tab1)
However, what I would like to achieve is
Tab 1 content (if I press on tab1) ____________ tab1 | tab 2
Here is the main xml (backbone of app) :
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical" > <FrameLayout android:id="@android:id/tabcontent" android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="0" /> <FrameLayout android:id="@+id/realtabcontent" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1" /> <TabWidget android:id="@android:id/tabs" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="0" android:orientation="horizontal" /> </LinearLayout>
The tab content layout
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:background="#31152C" android:gravity="center" tools:context=".MonitoringActivity" > <ScrollView android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" > <LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical" > <ImageView android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:adjustViewBounds="true" android:src="@drawable/home" /> </LinearLayout> </ScrollView> </LinearLayout>
The main class:
@Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); ctx = this; gs = (MyApp) getApplication(); tabHost = (FragmentTabHost)findViewById(android.R.id.tabhost); tabHost.setup(this, getSupportFragmentManager(), R.id.realtabcontent); tabHost.addTab(tabHost.newTabSpec("main").setIndicator(""),Home.class, null); tabHost.addTab(tabHost.newTabSpec("carpark").setIndicator("",getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.btn_park)), CarPark.class,null); tabHost.addTab(tabHost.newTabSpec("shop").setIndicator("",getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.btn_shop)), Shop.class,null); tabHost.getTabWidget().setDividerDrawable(null); tabHost.setCurrentTab(0); }
Thanks for helping
you can add tabwidget to the bottom using the given code..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <TabHost xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@android:id/tabhost" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" > <RelativeLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" > <FrameLayout android:id="@android:id/tabcontent" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_above="@android:id/tabs" /> <TabWidget android:id="@android:id/tabs" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" /> </RelativeLayout> </TabHost>
Found out the solution using the support fragment tab host:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical" > <FrameLayout android:id="@+id/realtabcontent" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="0dip" android:layout_weight="1" /> <android.support.v4.app.FragmentTabHost android:id="@android:id/tabhost" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" > <TabWidget android:id="@android:id/tabs" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="horizontal" /> </android.support.v4.app.FragmentTabHost> </LinearLayout>
Try this way,hope this will help you to solve your problem.
