Question

Following layout is used to show views on tabcontent. However, when admob appears, framelayout goes down getting tabwidget on front. How could I set frameLayout always above tabwidget?? or the same, tabwidget below framelayout. Thank you

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
              xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
              android:orientation="vertical"
              android:layout_width="fill_parent"
              android:layout_height="fill_parent"
              >


      <com.google.ads.AdView android:id="@+id/adView"
                         android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                         ads:adUnitId="xxx"
                         ads:adSize="SMART_BANNER"
                         ads:testDevices="TEST_EMULATOR, xxx"
                         ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"/>   

<TabHost 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@android:id/tabhost" 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">

      <RelativeLayout       
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:id="@+id/mainLayout">


        <LinearLayout  
            android:id="@+id/mainLayout"
            android:orientation="vertical"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            >

                    <FrameLayout 
                        android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
                        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
                        android:layout_height="0dip"
                        android:layout_weight="1" 
                        android:scrollbars="none">
                    </FrameLayout>

            <TabWidget 
                android:id="@android:id/tabs"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_weight="0"/>

        </LinearLayout>         
    </RelativeLayout>
</TabHost> 

</LinearLayout>

It should be like so…

<TabHost>start

    <LinearLayout>start

        <com.google.ads.AdView
            start
            end />

        <FrameLayout>start

            <LinearLayout>start
            <LinearLayout>end

        </FrameLayout>end

        <TabWidget>start
        </TabWidget>end

    </LinearLayout>end

</TabHost>end

If you want to have the google adds change with the different tabs then the above way is best, but if you do not then just make it like this….

<LinearLayout>start

    <com.google.ads.AdView
        start
        end />

    <TabHost>start

        <LinearLayout>start

            <FrameLayout>start

                <LinearLayout>start
                <LinearLayout>end

            </FrameLayout>end

            <TabWidget>start
            </TabWidget>end

        </LinearLayout>end

    </TabHost>end

</LinearLayout>end

Also set the tab widget to android:layout_marginBottom=”-4dp” just in case.
