Question:
I need to have a layout that has a view above a set of tabs. I've gotten the tabs working fine, but as soon as I try to add a view outside of them I'm left with that view and no visible tabs.
This works fine:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> <TabHost android:id="@android:id/tabhost" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1"> <LinearLayout ... /> But this doesn't:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> <TextView ... /> <!-- THIS LINE HERE!!! --> <TabHost android:id="@android:id/tabhost" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1"> <LinearLayout ... /> What can I do to make my tabs co-exist with other views?
For the sake of completeness, my Activity extends TabActivity.
Solution:1
Mayby you should get rid of the initial LinearLayout and start with your tabhost, like in this tutorial? Or is your goal to have a set-up like the image below?
+-----------------+ | App Title | +-----------------+ | some text | +-----+-----+-----+ | tab | tab | tab | +-----+-----+-----+ | |
