Question

I’ve got the following code:

\\Disable
tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildTabViewAt(3).setEnabled(false);
tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildTabViewAt(3).setBackgroundColor(Color.rgb(102, 102, 102));

And:

\\Enable
tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildTabViewAt(3).setEnabled(true);
\\HOWTO?

How can I revert the color of the disabled tab back to it’s original color (with gradient and stuff) when I enable it again?

If you use a Drawable as background you can use:

savedBackground = tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildTabViewAt(3).getBackground();
// Disable your tab

And once you enable it:

tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildTabViewAt(3).setEnabled(true);
tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildTabViewAt(3).getChildTabViewAt(3).setBackgroundDrawable (savedBackground );
