include layout android - causing issue with button background color

Question

I am having 1 layout which is common in all 3 tabs (Fragment) in my project. So what I did is I have created separate layout for that common structure and included the layout in all the fragments layout. The layout is basically having 4 buttons and on click of those buttons I am changing the background color of button and displaying data accordingly.

Code :-

@Override
    public View onCreateView(final LayoutInflater inflater,
            final ViewGroup container, final Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        final View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment,
                container, false);
        mLvIncomingCalls = (ListView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.lv);

        mBtnDay = (Button) rootView.findViewById(R.id.btnDay);
        mBtnWeek = (Button) rootView.findViewById(R.id.btnWeek);
        mBtnMonth = (Button) rootView.findViewById(R.id.btnMonth);
        mBtnAllTime = (Button) rootView.findViewById(R.id.btnAllTime);

        mBtnDay.setOnClickListener(btnDayClickListener);
        mBtnWeek.setOnClickListener(btnWeekClickListener);
        mBtnMonth.setOnClickListener(btnMonthClickListener);
        mBtnAllTime.setOnClickListener(btnAllTimeClickListener);

        mBtnDay.setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(
                android.R.color.holo_blue_light));

        return rootView;
    }

Now as seen in the snap shot, the problem is that in second tab by default all the button get the blue color. I am not getting why its getting blue for all buttons, as in all the fragment I am adding the above code which by default makes Day button color to blue only.

Do I need to create separate layout for all?

Anyone has any idea about it please kindly guide me.

Answer 1

in onCreateView you can set other button colors to gray. This way it should definitely not happen. The reason why it's happening is a mystery, I believe the system somehow recycles the Drawable incorrectly.

Answer 2

Put onTabChangedListener

mTabHost.setOnTabChangedListener(new OnTabChangeListener() {

        @Override
        public void onTabChanged(String tabId) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            if (tabId.equals("first")) {
                // here you can set "setBackgroundColor"
            }else if (tabId.equals("second")) {
            ......
            ......
        }
    }
}

I think it will helpful.
Thank you.
