I am experimenting with a TabHost widget. I did not realise that the TabActivity has been deprecated. I am having trouble actually displaying my TabHost on the screen when I run my activity. At present My XML file contains the following:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<TabHost
android:id="@android:id/tabhost"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TabWidget
android:id="@android:id/tabs"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
</TabWidget>
<FrameLayout
android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/tab1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/tab2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/tab3"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
</LinearLayout>
</FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</TabHost>
And my MainActivity.java contains:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
TabHost myTabBar;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
How can I get the TabHost to appear on the screen? Every time I google TabHost all of the tutorials involve extending TabActivity!
Thanks.
EDIT: Am I on the right track when doing something like this?
myTabBar = (TabHost)findViewById(android.R.id.tabhost);
myTabBar.setup();
