Question

I have a tabhost which contains three tabs, connected with three activities. All three tabs are in the upper side. How can I make these three tabs at the bottom?

I found this, but there are still some problems.

This is my tabhost XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<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">
    <LinearLayout
        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="fill_parent"
            android:layout_weight="1" />
        <TabWidget
            android:id="@android:id/tabs"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="0"/>
    </LinearLayout>
</TabHost>

In my TabActivity class, I have following code:

setContentView(R.layout.tabs);

TabHost mTabHost = (TabHost)findViewById(android.R.id.tabhost);

mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab_test1").setIndicator("TAB 1").setContent(new Intent(AndroisTabViewActivity.this,TabActivity1.class)));
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab_test2").setIndicator("TAB 2").setContent(new Intent(AndroisTabViewActivity.this,TabActivity1.class)));
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab_test3").setIndicator("TAB 3").setContent(new Intent(AndroisTabViewActivity.this,TabActivity1.class)));

mTabHost.setCurrentTab(0);

There is one activity named TabActivity1 which I have also included in Manifest file. But it is showing the error:

Can’t get the activity TabActivity1.

I assume you want to show “Tab” at bottom of the window, just try this:

<RelativeLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:id="@+id/linearLayout1"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <TabWidget
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@android:id/tabs"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">
    </TabWidget>

    <FrameLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:id="@android:id/tabcontent">
    </FrameLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
