ResourceNotFoundException Thrown From TabHost.addTab()

Question

I have a soundboard which works in Android OSes until ICS. There is a TabHost which has tabs added to it dynamically, each tab having a different ScrollView created by a new TabContentFactory.

When it comes to add the tab, it spits this out into the log that a ResourceNotFoundException was thrown. I don't think I'm missing any resources, since it works fine on all but ICS.

I'm including the log and relevant code. Is there anything else that would help narrow down the problem?

The log: ...

The code to create my tabhost, add tabs to it etc. is:

private ViewGroup createTABForm() {
    //construct the TAB host
    TabHost tabHost = new TabHost(this);
    tabHost.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));


    //the tabHost needs a tabWidget, a container for the visible tabs
    TabWidget tabWidget = new TabWidget(this);
    tabWidget.setId(android.R.id.tabs);
    HorizontalScrollView horizScrollView = new HorizontalScrollView(this);
    horizScrollView.addView(tabWidget);
    tabHost.addView(horizScrollView, new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));

    //the tabHost needs a frameLayout for the views associated with each visible tab
    FrameLayout frameLayout = new FrameLayout(this);
    frameLayout.setId(android.R.id.tabcontent);
    frameLayout.setPadding(0, 100, 0, 0);
    tabHost.addView(frameLayout, new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));

    //call setup, since it's not initialized in XML
    tabHost.setup();

    /*-----------------*

    Iterator<String> namesItr = characters.getNamesItr();
    Iterator<Drawable> drawableItr = characters.getDrawableItr();

    final Context context = this;
    while(namesItr.hasNext()){  //iterate over all the characters
        name = namesItr.next();   //get this character's name
        final Drawable drawable = drawableItr.next();//the current character's icon
        final String finalName = name;  //silly final variable to satisfy compiler

        //set up the icons
        TabHost.TabSpec tabSpec = tabHost.newTabSpec(name+" Tab");
        tabSpec.setIndicator(name, drawable);

        tabSpec.setContent(new TabHost.TabContentFactory() {

            @Override
            public ScrollView createTabContent(String tag) {
