I have a tabHost with 4 different intents in it. I am trying to see animation while traversing between tabs. the code I am using is partially works:
@Override
public void onTabChanged(String tabId) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
FrameLayout questionsLayout = (FrameLayout)tabHost.findViewById(android.R.id.tabcontent);
questionsLayout.setAnimation(AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(tabHost.getContext(), R.anim.go_left_in));
}
however it only animates one animation which is an “inAnimation”, I also want to add an “outAnimation” too, how can I do that.
By the way, i am using this code to add each tabs:
intent = new Intent().setClass(this, Tabs.class);
intent.putExtra("questions", rawQ);
spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("english").setIndicator(getText(R.string.ingilizce),res.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_tabs)).setContent(intent);
tabHost.addTab(spec);
Lastly, I am using api version 8.
Last edit, entire code:
public class Questions extends TabActivity implements OnTabChangeListener {
public static final String TAG = "Questions";
private String macAddr;
private String json;
private TabHost tabHost;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
Log.v(TAG, "Activity State: onCreate() " + TAG);
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
if (extras != null) {
macAddr = extras.getString("macAddr");
json = extras.getString("json");
}
// Make it fullscreen
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
// parsing json data
Question[] rawQ = parseJson(json);
if (rawQ==null) {
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setMessage(
"Mac address could not found in database, please add it via control panel.")
.setCancelable(false)
.setNegativeButton("Okay",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,
int id) {
Intent i = new Intent(Questions.this, AnrdoinActivity.class);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
startActivity(i);
}
});
AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
alert.show();
} else {
setContentView(R.layout.questions);
Resources res = getResources(); // Resource object to get Drawables
tabHost = getTabHost(); // The activity TabHost
TabHost.TabSpec spec; // Resusable TabSpec for each tab
Intent intent; // Reusable Intent for each tab
// Create an Intent to launch an Activity for the tab (to be reused)
intent = new Intent().setClass(this, Tabs.class);
intent.putExtra("questions", getLanguageQuestions(rawQ, 1));
// Initialize a TabSpec for each tab and add it to the TabHost
spec = tabHost

I’ve been looking around for ages to try and implement this, and actually wound up getting animations between different tabs (where my tabs are separate activities) by extending the TabHost slightly. In this particular implementation I’ve separated the animations so that it animates differently if you’re going to a tab to the left or right of the old one:
Adding this as a new class, ADT will automatically add it to the list of custom views in the graphic xml editor, so you can just swap out the TabHost in the layout for this one, and all should be good (make sure you remember to actually implement your different anim xml files).
