Question

I am getting stackoverflow error

My layout structure as below

<TabActivity>
    <tab1><Activity name="home">
    <tab2><Activitygroup><activity name="XYZ">
                <activity name="options">
                <activity name="thankYou">
    <tab3>
        <TabActivity>
            <tab3.1><Activitygroup><activities name="PQR">
            <tab3.2><activity name="today">
            <tab3.3><activity name="history">
            <tab3.4><Activitygroup>
                    <activity name="reOrder"> from this I will open 
                    <Activity name="options">
        <TabActivity>
    <tab4><Activitygroup><activities name="ABC">
    <tab5><Activity name="setting">
<TabActivity>

I am getting error when I am in tab3.4. I have one activity in Activitygroup and now I am adding new activity in this activitygroup when next button clicked on first activity in activitygroup of tab3.4.

I debugged it and check that till the onResume() it is working fine but after that it is firing error. Before getting error also I can see the new activity.

Also if I open another activity it is working fine. At that time It is working perfactly.

Please help me out from this issue.

Solution

I am afraid you will need any other workaround instead of nesting ActivityGroup in another ActivityGroup because android doesn't support too many nested ViewGroup may be some memory issues.

and some times these tabs work perfectly on Emulator but will show defiantly StackOverflowException while deployed on real devices.

So the simplest is to change Activity flow (e.g getting child ActivityGroup out of parent ActivityGroup and show it in entire screen)
