HTC Hero :: Removing Application Tabs From Homescreen?
Sep 20, 2009
The updated ROM firmware updated wonderfully and now the fun is really responsive and fast with very little noticeable lag. I have searched but can't see anyone else mention this, I can't believe this is just me though. When you want to remove an item from the screens now, it will start the app just by touching and not give time enough to highlight so that it can be dragged to 'remove' tab. One example is googlemaps from the homescreen. Have I overlooked a setting which will allow this or are the updates to speed such that it is a little too responsive now?

I am looking to create an Android application that uses Tabs.
Requirements
- When a user selects a tab and gets back to the same tab, there shouldn't be a loading period (preferably).
- Each tab will contain a listview.
- In one of the tabs, I will have to use subtabs. And that's it.
One great example I really liked (although I didn't try the app) is

I'm currently working on my first android application. I am using a tabbed layout for my application. I followed the tutorial for this on the dev guide and ran into a problem. The tutorial only used three tabs, but I have a need for more. As such, the tabs resize and bunch up. I was hoping someone could tell me how I can make them scroll, like in dolphin browser when using multiple tabs.

I would like to restrict my application which uses Tabs to portrait orientation. I have 4 tabs and I set the "android:configChanges="orientation" for all 4 tabs but the orientation still changes when I rotate the phone. Seem pretty straight forward. Am I missing something?

I want to create an application that uses small tabs, such as the one the Android's facebook official app uses. Does anyone know how these kind of tabs can be created? Do I need to extend the TabHost class in order to customize it, or is there a more general easier approach?

I simply use the tabwidget :
CODE:..........
Why are my tabs so uggly in 2.0 (no more rounded corners as in 1.5/1.6) ?
ugly tabs here
=>
This was better
What should I do now to show "rounded corners" TABS to Nexus One (for exemple) users ;-) ?
Is it because of the following manifest lines :
CODE:................
I have to keep android:anyDensity="true" otherwise I've got a problem with re-sizing of the menus described here
As a separate question, my users can change the Locale within my app itself, I then "redraw" the menus using onPrepareOptionsMenu (Menu menu) to refresh the strings within the menu with the new language choosen by the user. Is there an equivalent for TABS (I have local strings within the Title of the TABS) or do I have to delete all the tabs and re-create them from scratch ?

We're in the process of writing an app that has 4 tabs: Map, People, Places, Events. The People, Places, and Events in the App show up as Icons on the map. By default the People, Places, and Events tabs each show a listview, custom rendered, displaying all the People, Places, and Events respectively.
Now, right now each of the tabs has as its content an Intent set to launch the corresponding activity. For instance, there is a MapTabActivity that extends MapActivity, a ShowPeopleListActivity that shows the people, and so on and so forth.
I see a lot of StackOverflow questions/answers saying that due to various limitations in the way the TabHost is setup, it's best NOT to use activities as the content of tabs. For instance, it's impossible to launch a new activity and have it take the place of the existing activity within a tab, whereas it's possible to switch out a View with a different view.
Now, I'm at a crossroads. We've (for better or worse) devoted a fair amount of time trying to get this app to work the way it's currently structured, with the Activities as the content of the tabs. When an icon corresponding to a Person, Place, or Event is clicked, it fires off a VIEW Intent on a URI corresponding to that object; this is picked up by an Activity that then shows the object. The same mechanism is at work both in the Map and in the individual lists. We really like the loose coupling this provides us; we just give a VIEW command and the URI to the person/place/event and it automatically brings us to the right activity. Granted, the activity that's launched covers up the tab view rather than appearing inside of that, but we were willing to live with this.
Here's an issue though: from the Show activity, we want to be able to go back to the map, centered at that person, place, or event. We can launch a new activity to show the map again, but now we have the map activity as the content of the tab, plus the show activity, plus the new map activity in the activity stack; given how resource intensive the map activity is, I'm guessing this is not the ideal way to go.
I guess my question is, is there a GOOD tutorial somewhere showing exactly how to do complex tasks with a TabHost? I've seen HelloTabWidget; I'm looking for something much more sophisticated than this. I'm worried that if we switch to the View based way of doing things, we'll have to do a LOT of housekeeping to intercept all the back events, try to switch out the views, etc., etc., as well as strongly coupling our program in a way we don't want.

I have an Tab Activity with 4 tabs. Each of tab is showing me the list view. Suppose i m on 4th tab and dragged the list view to the last position and after that i click on 3rd tab and again when i go to 4th tab it is not refreshing and showing me the last visible screen. Actually i want to show the list view again from 1st element. is tabs refresh automatically or we need to do it programmatic?

I was wondering if it's possible to get the icon (shortcut) of your app on the home screen during installation instead of inside the standard apps folder? And I did find out that Android has AppWidgets but I was wondering if it supports "standard" widgets as well (javascript/html/css) ?

If it's possible how about removing every stop application that you can not download from the marketplace? If the application isn't downloadable by preference leave it, if it can be downloaded at a later time remove them. I have some applications like car home, clock, gmail, and google talk that I never use.

I have a problem with some applications that simply disappeared. Some them did it after I moved them to SD card. I think (I'm not absolutely sure about it) that some of those "disappeared" applications were not moved to SD card.
The problem is, that if I try to install the application again, system tells me that it is already installed. If I choose to install it again (upgrade the app), the installation fails.
The problem is that I can't remove these applications because I don't see them listed in installed apps. I will have to remove the applications manually, but I don't know how to do it. I have root access, so I should be able to do it.

What are my options for a replacement? I liked the fact that the stock HTC one took up all of one of my home screens, so I'm looking for something at least similar.

I know we're getting 5 homescreens in 2.1. still no idea when we'll get that update! last I heard Motorola was in their final testing phase and at that Nexus One conference the head of Moto said the same.. within a few days it should have been ported. Har har we all knew that wasn't happening that quick. I've got my 3 homescreens maxed, and I really would like to use a homescreen app to have more. I don't want to sacrifice stability and I don't need crazy features, I'm simply looking to just go up to 5-7 screens so I can test some larger widgets out in the meantime. I'm not rooted and I don't really want to either. What's best? Home++?

I posted b this in the troubleshooting forum, but few people look there, I guess. I tried to update mixing and it failed a few times. I didn't think much about it until I decided to spring for the paid version. I bought it, but it wouldn't upload either. So I went to un install mixing in hopes that a fresh re-install would fix the problem, but there's no option to un install. I have my apps backed up, so I tried un installing mixzing that way, but it fails. The app itself works fine. Mixing may have been bundled with UD 9.8, my current ROM, but I'm not sure. I guess ultimately what I need help with is completely removing the app so I can start with a fresh install.(Switching, or even reinstalling the ROM is simply not an option. It takes me days to get my phone back the way I like it.

It's very easy to add shortcuts or widgets onto the home screen but I can't find how to delete them. For widgets I can delete the app If I don't want it anymore, but If i still need it how do i take it off.I added a mail shortcut on the home screen, and I haven't been using it since my e-mails are synced. I need the room on my home screen but can't delete it.
