android-tabhost

I want to create custom buttons to use in a TabHost. I haven been trying to just use the same image resource (png), but have the colorfilter change depending on the state. So I made this bit to serve as the layout for the custom button: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> <ImageView android:id="@+id/tab_icon" android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_width="wrap

I want to draw the number badge as shown in the above image on the Chats tab. That number badge shows number of new unread messages in chat. So how can I draw this kind of custom number badge. Is there any inbuilt API in Android SDK? Thanks in advance. ccheneson Look at my answer here for widgets/app. You can use shapecount.xml res/layout/tabicon.xml <RelativeLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:background="@null" android:id="@+id/rlayout" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" > <ImageView android:id="@+id/icon" android:src="@android:drawable/ic_menu

In the demo Support4Demos - API 4+ Support Demos , the Tabs and TabsPager examples both extend FragmentActivity. Each tab content is itself a Fragment. No real breakthrough, TabActivity was used the same way without the introduction of Fragment. Now suppose inside my Activity , a screen portion is a Fragment named WidgetFragment. How is it possible for WidgetFragment to contain a TabHost ? Visualize a mini TabHost contained inside an Activity. I tried every possible way to insert a TabHost inside a Fragment not a FragmentActivity. In generally accepted practices, Tabs fit the whole screen.

I want to get rid of horizontal scroll bar in TabHost. It's there even if TabWidget is on top. Below is my xml layout. <?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="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" > <FrameLayout android:id="@android:id/tabcontent" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"/> <TabWidget android:id="@android:id/tabs" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:gravity="bottom" /> <

I have been struggling with this for a few days now. I'm trying to switch tabs programmatically upon a button click. My program works flawlessly if I just use the tabs to change activities, but wiring an onClick method with setCurrentTab results in an error. This is the method that will not work. It's a pretty basic and straightforward function but I haven't seen much documentation or examples of people attempting to wire a buttonclick with switching tabs. Thanks. ImageButton next = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.ButtonAsk); next.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { public void

I wanted to see if anyone has had success with customization of tabs using FragmentTabHost that comes with the new Android API level 17. I was excited to be able to nest a tabHost within my ViewPager SherlockFragments, but I'm having trouble doing simple things like moving the tabs to the bottom or changing the layout of the tabs. Has anyone seen a good example of using this functionality? This is the only example I could find in the Android docs, and theres just about nothing that describes its use. It also seems to ignore whatever is defined in the layout for R.id.fragment1 . My question I

I want my tabs to show like in the image with small triangle below it.Is this possible ?If yes, then help me with some codes or documentation. I think, the following approach is the simplest one. You just need to setup the following drawable (actually, it's Android's default drawable for tabs) as a background of the tabs: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <!-- Non focused states --> <item android:state_focused="false" android:state_selected="false" android:state_pressed="false" android:drawable="@drawable/tab_unselected

I'm building an Android app for which I'd like my first activity to be composed of 2 tabs, one for the user's profile, and one for the friends' activity. For these tabs, I opted for a TabHost since my Sherlock Action Bar is already using list navigation to move to other activities so I can't use tab navigation from the action bar. The app worked for a while, but now only one of my tabs works, as soon as I try to move to the second tab, I'm getting a java.lang.IllegalStateException: No activity I added the Logcat output for this error, although I'm not sure it helps since there is no trace back
