android-tabhost

I'm trying to store the index of the currently selected tab in onSaveInstanceState so I can restore it. However the getCurrentTab apparantely gives me back the String I used in the etTabHost().newTabSpec, which I find a bit weird since the documentation says it returns an int and setCurrentTab also taking an int. Does anyone know how I can get the index of my currently selected tab so I can restore it? Jorgesys you are on the right way, use setOnTabChangedListener to get your selected tab. public class MainActivity extends TabActivity { static TabHost mytabs; mytabs = getTabHost(); mytabs

I'm trying to implement this application. At the moment I have designed tabs on it and since I have more than 7 tabs it looks too congested. How can I design it so that the tabwidget is scrollable horizontally. I have seen this design on few of the apps at the market but no clue how to implement this in my app. One app I saw had a horizontal scrollview where it scrolls on its own and when you press the particular image/button it displays some content. It didn't seem to be tabs I guess. So does anyone have an idea of this? Please check out Jake Wharton's ViewPager app. That is exactly what you

In iPhone we can create a view that has a tab bar and make it the root view of the application then use the tab bar to navigate through sub views. what is the most close approach to this in Android? Is it to use a Tabbed Control? but this includes using just one activity. what is the approach to use in Android to create an activity with a navigation control to other activities in a way similar to that of the iPhone? binaryorganic There's a tutorial for creating a "Tab Layout" on the android dev site: You can implement your tab content in one of two ways: use the tabs to swap Views within the

I have implemented a TabActivity which extends FragmentActivity . It has 5 tabs each tab is a Fragment . What i am looking for is to switch between the tabs programmatically. For eg: if i am in tab4. On button click I want to move from tab4 to tab1 . Tried a lot but couldn't find the solution for this. Tried with the following but it doesn't help. From SecondTab public void switchTabInActivity(String value){ FirstTab parent; parent = (FirstTab) getActivity().getParent(); parent.switchTab(value); } TabActivity /** To Change Tab*/ public void switchTab(String tabno){ this.onTabChanged(tabno); }

Few days ago I implemented TabHostFramgent in a Fragment with a NavigationDrawer , and I faced with a problem that is the following error : java.lang.IllegalStateException: No tab known for tag null The thing is that all works perfectly since my first item list of my NavigationDrawer is my TabHostFragment , so it works perfect, but the problem is when I go in example to the second item and then I want to go back to the first item, every time that I try so it crashes. I was searching everywhere, here in SO , code.google.com , etc... and I still don't get the proper answer. My tab_host_test_2

I'm working on upgrading an Android application (1.6 compatibility) which uses a TabHost to show 3 different tabs with nested activities. At the time I used the ActivityGroup trick to show nested activities in a tab but I'm very unhappy with this method since it's a real pain to handle some features. I heard about the Fragments API compatibility package for 1.6 and a Fragment looks perfect for what I want to do (show nested views / features within a tab with transition effects and stuff) but I can't make it work with a TabHost (It was meant to work with an Action Bar but it's not available in
