Question

I have a TabbedView Activity with 3 tabs. Currently, only the 1st tab has its correct icon, and the other 2 are blank.

My xml file is as follows:

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="@drawable/news" android:state_selected="true" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/score" android:state_selected="true" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/schedule" android:state_selected="true" />
</selector>

The news icon is the one that shows up. Here is my tabbed view activity. I was expecting to see the 2nd tab icon be the score icon, and the 3rd tab be the schedule Icon:

        //Headlines
    intent = new Intent().setClass(this, HeadlineBoard.class);
    intent.putExtra(Constants.SPORT_NAME_EXTRA, sportsName);
    intent.putExtra(Constants.HEADLINES_FOR_SPORT_EXTRA, headlines);
    spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("news").setIndicator("Headlines",
                      res.getDrawable(R.drawable.hl_aggie))
                  .setContent(intent);
    tabHost.addTab(spec);

    //Scores
    intent = new Intent().setClass(this, ScoreBoard.class);
    intent.putExtra(Constants.SPORT_NAME_EXTRA, sportsName);
    intent.putExtra(Constants.SCORES_FOR_SPORT_EXTRA, scores);
    spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("score").setIndicator("Scores",       
                      res.getDrawable(R.drawable.hl_aggie))
                  .setContent(intent);
    tabHost.addTab(spec);

    //Schedule
    intent = new Intent().setClass(this, ScheduleBoard.class);
    intent.putExtra(Constants.SPORT_NAME_EXTRA, sportsName);
    intent.putExtra(Constants.SCHEDULE_FOR_SPORT_EXTRA, scheduleIn);
    spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("schedule").setIndicator("Schedule",
                      res.getDrawable(R.drawable.hl_aggie))
                  .setContent(intent);
    tabHost.addTab(spec);       
    tabHost.setCurrentTab(0);

Answer 1

if you just want all the icon to show up, why don’t you just set all the icon drawables respectively to each tab ?

TabSpec scoreSpec= tabHost.newTabSpec("score");

scoreSpec.setIndicator("scores", getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.score));

Here is the Reference..
