Answer 1

The current TabHost Example on the Android Developers site contains one error and also leaves out an important step that will prevent the example from running.

First off: In the onCreate() method that is added to HelloTabWidget class attempts to use a TabHost object called mTabHost. This is invalid, it should be tabHost.

Second: The tutorial leaves out the details that you need to add each of the activities too the AndroidManifest.xml. Without this the code will not work and you will get "force close" each time you attempt to execute.
