Question

I’ve always used Xcode in the past so now I’m trying to learn Android and I’m using Eclipse

I followed all the steps outlined in http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-tabwidget.html but when I actually run the code on my LG Revolution (Froyo 2.2.1), I am crashing.

I’m not sure how to debug but I don’t know why this would even crash. Any help would be appreciated.

I used the same image for all 3 tabs (thats the only modification I made but I don’t think it should crash)

Here is my code

package com.oneorangetree.shit;

import android.app.TabActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.res.Resources;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TabHost;

public class HelloTabWidgetActivity extends TabActivity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        // Resource object to get drawable
        Resources res = getResources();
        TabHost tabHost = getTabHost();
        TabHost.TabSpec spec;
        Intent intent;

        intent = new Intent().setClass(this, ArtistsActivity.class);
        spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("artists").setIndicator("Artists", res.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_tab_artists)).setContent(intent);
        tabHost.addTab(spec);

        intent = new Intent().setClass(this, AlbumsActivity.class);
        spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("albums").setIndicator("Albums", res.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_tab_artists)).setContent(intent);
        tabHost.addTab(spec);

        intent = new Intent().setClass(this, SongsActivity.class);
        spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("songs").setIndicator("Songs", res.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_tab_artists)).setContent(intent);
        tabHost.addTab(spec);

        tabHost.setCurrentTab(2);
    }
}

here is my Manifest file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      package="com.oneorangetree.shit"
      android:versionCode="1"
      android:versionName="1.0">
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />

    <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
        <activity android:name=".HelloTabWidgetActivity"
                  android:label="@string/app_name"
                  android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

    </application>
</manifest>

See the information in http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4183 and implement the fixes by Ted in my original question – below is the manifest but there are other errors too:

<activity android:name=".AlbumsActivity"
          android:label="@string/app_name"
          android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar">
</activity>
<activity android:name=".ArtistsActivity"
          android:label="@string/app_name"
          android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar">
</activity>
<activity android:name=".SongsActivity"
          android:label="@string/app_name"
          android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar">
</activity>
