Question

I’m following the tutorial from androiddevelopers website. I copied the code and mTabHost is giving an error. I looked to see if anything needs to be imported, but everything is imported.

the code

package com.tabTestx;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.TabActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class TabTestXActivity extends TabActivity {
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    mTabHost = getTabHost();

    mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab_test1").setIndicator("TAB 1").setContent(R.id.textview1));
    mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab_test2").setIndicator("TAB 2").setContent(R.id.textview2));
    mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab_test3").setIndicator("TAB 3").setContent(R.id.textview3));

    mTabHost.setCurrentTab(0);
}
}

Someone please help me

Answer 1

you forget to declare mTabHost as TabHost

TabHost mTabHost = getTabHost(); //declare as TabHost in your code
^^^^^^^
