First of all make an layout of this Tab Activity
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TabHost xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@android:id/tabhost"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#181818">
<!-- LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:padding="5dp"-->
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent">
<!-- HorizontalScrollView
android:id="@+id/horizontalScrollView1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
-->
<TabWidget
android:id="@android:id/tabs"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
/>
<!-- /HorizontalScrollView-->
<FrameLayout
android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:padding="5dp" />
</RelativeLayout>
</TabHost>
Then JAVA file of the Tab is below :
package com.blacky.TabActivities;
import com.blacky.basictutorial.R;
import android.app.TabActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.res.Resources;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TabHost;
public class TabtryActivity extends TabActivity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.tabactivity);
TabHost tabHost = getTabHost(); // The activity TabHost
TabHost.TabSpec spec; // Resusable TabSpec for each tab
Intent intent; // Reusable Intent for each tab
Resources res = getResources();
// Create an Intent to launch an Activity for the tab (to be reused)
intent = new Intent().setClass(this, Tab1.class);
// Initialize a TabSpec for each tab and add it to the TabHost
spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("artists").setIndicator("Artists",res.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_drawable_changes))
.setContent(intent);
tabHost.addTab(spec);
// Do the same for the other tabs
intent = new Intent().setClass(this,Tab2.class);
spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("albums").setIndicator("Albums",res.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_drawable_changes))
.setContent(intent);
tabHost.addTab(spec);
intent = new Intent().setClass(this, Tab3.class);
spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("songs").setIndicator("Songs")
.setContent(intent);
tabHost.addTab(spec);
tabHost.setCurrentTab(0);
}
}
According to that make the xml file of all the tabs separately and put the contant view in the java file of all the tab.
