Question
I am learning to make Tab based apps in android.Got a “you must specify a way to create tab indicator” error in LogCat.
Heres the code......
.java file......
package com.example.tabdemo;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.TabActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.widget.TabHost;
import android.widget.TabHost.TabSpec;
@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
public class MainActivity extends TabActivity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
TabHost tabhost=getTabHost();
TabHost.TabSpec spec1=tabhost.newTabSpec("Tab 1");
Intent intent1=new Intent(this, Tabone.class);
spec1.setContent(intent1);
// spec1.setIndicator("Tab 1", getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.face));
spec1.setIndicator("Tab 1");
tabhost.addTab(spec1);
TabHost.TabSpec spec2=tabhost.newTabSpec("Tab 2");
Intent intent2=new Intent(this,Tabtwo.class);
spec2.setContent(intent2);
// spec1.setIndicator("Tab 2", getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.face));
spec1.setIndicator("Tab 2");
tabhost.addTab(spec2);
tabhost.setCurrentTab(1);
}
}
activity xml file...
<?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">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TabWidget
android:id="@android:id/tabs"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<FrameLayout
android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>
</LinearLayout>
</TabHost>
Solution
You didn't set indicator for the tab2
check your code
spec2.setContent(intent2);
// spec1.setIndicator("Tab 2", getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.face));
spec1.setIndicator("Tab 2");
you overwrite your tab1 indicator.
