I am using a tabHost in certain layouts within my app and they work

  • 0

I am using a tabHost in certain layouts within my app and they work fine in certain activities but they show up blank in others. I’ve tried multiple setups but for some reason,the tabhost ends up blank in one activity but it works perfect in others.

Is there something I am missing….here’s my code I am using to display my tabHost:

dialog2.setContentView(R.layout.maintabmenu);


    final TabHost tabs = (TabHost)dialog2.findViewById(R.id.my_tabhost);
    tabs.setup();
    tabs.setCurrentTab(0);

    TabSpec tspec11 = tabs.newTabSpec("New Tab");
    tspec11.setIndicator("User");

    tspec11.setContent(R.id.ScrollView01);
    tabs.addTab(tspec11);

    TabSpec tspec3 = tabs.newTabSpec("New Tab");
    tspec3.setIndicator("My options");
    tspec3.setContent(R.id.ScrollView03);
    tabs.addTab(tspec3);
    ///the reset of set up omitted 

and then the xml:

<TabHost xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
         android:id="@+id/my_tabhost"
         android:layout_width="match_parent"
