More of a TabWidget question I guess really...
I would've tried to send a screenshot for this query if I could, but i'll try and explain.
I have 3 Tabs, each showing a separate Activity. Underneath those tabs (and above the activity display), I want to display a header. This header would probably be a Layout of some sort with a TextView inside it and a background 9patch.
Is this possible, if so how?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI really like having a clean homescreen and I don't really like having to navigate far for my most used apps.On my main screen I have the Beautiful Widgets Flip clock and weather widget, the one that takes up two rows.And as I said, I like things clean, so I'd like to be able to see my background so I don't want to clutter the space with icons.So what would be the best way to make, clear, or near transparent icons for my apps? I thought about Better Cut, but still I need the actual pictures of my apps to like photoshop them. Any ideas on how to come up with them?Is there anything I can find on my phone or get the icons off my phone?

View 3 Replies View RelatedThere have been various images of Android devices that have been greatly customized that look nothing like the original stock Android. How do people make such advanced customization. How can I try to do this on my Motorola Defy with CM9? What apps on Android and programs on the computer can work with this? I personally have a Ubuntu computer but can access a Windows one if needed.

So I get TabActivity's FrameLayout and add it my footer view.Is it possbile to define where place the footer (with an attribute like AT_BOTTOM)? So contentTab dimensions are calculated according to this footer.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem.I want to explain in detail. 1)I am Having an TabActivity with 5 tabs. I loaded content as follows.
CODE:............
And the Problem is If i want to start activity which is not specified in tabhost in above Java code,it is going out of tabactivity. ie.,It is not coming in tabactivity.
2)But i want to have all the activities under tabActivity.
I create a TabActivity from Several ListActivities.
The lists are created from a cursor load in a AsyncQueryHandler. I have got no problem to load the content of the list.
After that I run an insert in the AsyncQueryHandler, and I meet the following error. The insert is done by the listActivity.
If I run my listActivity individually and that I do my insert, everything is find. Do know why ?
CODE:.......................
I'm having some difficulties getting the TabActivity to work.
Here's the implementation of the class:
CODE:..........
The problem is that I call this class from my main activity (which is a MapActivity if it matters) and when I do the TabActivity doesn't show. It registers the click on the option menu and it even starts the intent but the screen doesn't change..it just stays on the main activity and i see in the logs that the main activity gets resumed.
I call it like this:
CODE:...............
Like I said...there are no errors (the classes called from the tabs exist of course), just no actions. I put some log commands into the onCreate function in the tabactivity (as you see) and they all get written into the log...I have no idea what I'm doing wrong here.
I'm working on Android v1.5. I want to use a TabActivity with 6 or 7 or more tabs. However, I do not want to clutter my screen with so many tabs together. Hence, I'd like to be able to show, say, 3 tabs on the screen, and to be able to scroll to the other tabs. How may I achieve this? I could not find any example for this by Googling.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a TabActivity based class which has 3 tabs. All are ListActivities (but that's not important for this problem)
I'm updating the TabHost's TabSpec's to change the text on the tabs. This works fine and the ListActivities display correctly.
Iater on the execution flow I need to update the Text on the tabs from "Current Text" to "Current Text (3)", for example. I update the TabSpec.setIndicator() with the new text, and attempt to call invalidate() on the TabWidget (and all it's children). But the tab text refuses to update!
I have been trying to reuse the tutorial on the Android developer website about developing a TabActivity App but, unfortunately, it never worked, even when I constructed it the exact same way as it is described...
Using the debugger it seemed the problem came from the main layout.
-> setContentView(R.layout.main); //After this line the app stops.

First android phone and am trying to use google voice for as much as I can, working decent so far, but several issues have come up, if anyone can address them.
1) Anytime Google voice is open, SMS notifications occurr basically instantaneously. Sometimes when it is not the open app, notifications for messages do not appear for up to 30 minutes (you can tell from the timestamps). I do not see any options about syncing frequency in the google voice app. Is there any way to rectify this?
2) SMS notification sounds. I can't find any way to make custom tones for each contact. The typical solution I've read is to use a custom SMS app, but can't do this with voice. Any workarounds?
3) Are there any 3rd party apps that handle any aspects of google voice SMS or customization? Some searches found nothing.Overall I'm pretty happy with using voice as my SMS, just want to make it as good as I possibly can.
I am new to the Desire and I've seen some of the screens on some of the threads in here but I have no idea how to activate certain apps I've downloaded!?!?

I am trying to override the behavior of a TabActivity that has other Activities as children. I have made all of the children activities return false in onKeyDown so that the key will propagate through to the parent.However, this is not the case.The only key that is being recognized is the search key.Back, menu, and home are not being overridden.

I have a TabActivity, there are 4 tabs. In each tab I have put a single Activity. One of the activities contains a Custom List View which uses a CustomAdapter which extends the BaseAdapter.

I know i may need to spend more time on the BOOK and google for android development, but i also feel that the resource for android is quit scattered and not detail. (i'm a developer of C# for a few years, and it's more easilier to search for information)
I'd like to start a service from a tabactivity (I first tried in the activity launched for a tab but it seems taht there is a technical limitation).
So inside my TabActivity I defined a method named startService() which is quite simple:
> instanciate a new Intent > call the method startservice > Inside my "tabbed" activity (I mean inside a tab) I make a reference to the TabActivity and I call the method startService.
