I am trying to create template/BaseActivity class for other developers to use, as a part of framework.
I extended my class with TabActivity, and my xml looks like this/
<TabHost xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@android:id/tabhost" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<View android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dip"
android:background="#000" />
<TabWidget android:id="@android:id/tabs"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="0dip" android:layout_marginRight="0dip" />
<View android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="2dip"
android:background="#696969" />
<View android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="1dip"
android:background="#fff" />
<FrameLayout android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
</TabHost>
when I use this activity by extending in other project, I get an error stating, it is not able to get android.R.id.tabhost and this is necessary.
This happens, even if i call getTabHost() or findViewById() both scenarios.
Please note : I tried this without extending the TabActivity, for the use of views in tab. It works fine. But I want to use activities as my tab content.
I think this is the issue when we make it a library project and include it.
Please let me know if you need more explanation or if you know some workarounds, please suggest.
