Question

I’m trying to make an app that has three tabs, each with different but linked content. Currently, I want some features to appear on one tab but not on another. For example, I would like a SeekBar to be displayed on only one of the tabs. But, currently, it is displayed for all of them.

I greatly appreciate any help

It seems like you want to dynamically add content to the TabHost. You will be able to add different tabs to the TabActivity once it is created based on a variable. Here is an example …

TabHost host = findViewById(R.id.my_tabhost);
boolean boo = true; //Variable that will decide what tabs to add
host.setup(); //Need to call before adding tabs
if (boo)
    host.addTab(host.newTabSpec("Hello").setIndicator("Hello").setContent(new Intent(this, HelloActivity.class)));
else
    host.addTab(host.newTabSpec("Goodbye").setIndicator("Goodbye").setContent(new Intent(this, GoodbyeActivity.class));

This way the tabs will be different if boo is true or if boo is false. Then you can add your content to HelloActivity and GoodbyeActivity.
