I am trying to create a tab view with will switch to a different content view by Id. Here is my tab activity:
public class TabViews extends TabActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.tabviews);
TabHost tabHost = getTabHost();
LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.tabviews, tabHost.getTabContentView(), true);
tabHost.addTab(tabHost.newTabSpec("apples")
.setIndicator("Apples")
.setContent(R.id.apples));
tabHost.addTab(tabHost.newTabSpec("events")
.setIndicator("Events")
.setContent(R.id.events));
tabHost.addTab(tabHost.newTabSpec("attend")
.setIndicator("Attending")
.setContent(R.id.attend));
}
}
Here is the tabviews xml layout.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TextView android:id="@+id/view1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="test"/>
<TextView android:id="@+id/view2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="test"/>
<TextView android:id="@+id/view3"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="test"/>
</FrameLayout>
I have three other xml layouts attend, events and apples which i can access by creating a new intent the calling startActivity on that Intent.
Here is my R.java class:

Not sure what I am doing wrong. I am a bit new to this.
UPDATE: Ok so.. What I mean is.. I want to change the Activity using tabs. Heres is how I did it. The answer was to set the content by Intent instead using tabHost.addTab(tabHost.newTabSpec(“tab2”) .setIndicator(“Something”) .setContent(new Intent(this, myActivity.class)));
Thankyou all those who helped. It made me consider more options.
Cheers, Joe.
