The tabhost tab is often used in Android applications. Here, we will show you how to use the tabhost tab in the apidemo example ,,,
There are three common methods:
1. Create each tab page from a layout ID
public class Tabs1 extends TabActivity { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); TabHost tabHost = getTabHost(); LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.tabs1, tabHost.getTabContentView(), true); tabHost.addTab(tabHost.newTabSpec("tab1") .setIndicator("tab1") .setContent(R.id.view1)); tabHost.addTab(tabHost.newTabSpec("tab3") .setIndicator("tab2") .setContent(R.id.view2)); tabHost.addTab(tabHost.newTabSpec("tab3") .setIndicator("tab3") .setContent(R.id.view3)); }}
2. dynamically create a view as the tab page content
public class Tabs2 extends TabActivity implements TabHost.TabContentFactory { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); final TabHost tabHost = getTabHost(); tabHost.addTab(tabHost.newTabSpec("tab1") .setIndicator("tab1", getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.star_big_on)) .setContent(this)); tabHost.addTab(tabHost.newTabSpec("tab2") .setIndicator("tab2") .setContent(this)); tabHost.addTab(tabHost.newTabSpec("tab3") .setIndicator("tab3") .setContent(this)); } /** {@inheritDoc} */ public View createTabContent(String tag) { final TextView tv = new TextView(this); tv.setText("Content for tab with tag " + tag); return tv; }}
3. Pass an intent to pass the parameter, and use the newly started activity as the tab content. This should be easier to pass the parameter...
public class Tabs3 extends TabActivity { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); final TabHost tabHost = getTabHost(); tabHost.addTab(tabHost.newTabSpec("tab1") .setIndicator("list") .setContent(new Intent(this, List1.class))); tabHost.addTab(tabHost.newTabSpec("tab2") .setIndicator("photo list") .setContent(new Intent(this, List8.class))); // This tab sets the intent flag so that it is recreated each time // the tab is clicked. tabHost.addTab(tabHost.newTabSpec("tab3") .setIndicator("destroy") .setContent(new Intent(this, Controls2.class) .addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP))); }}
There are two ways to implement tabhost. The first method inherits tabactivity and obtains tabhost from tabactivity using the gettabhost () method. The content of each tab can be defined in the layout file.
Mainactivity. xml
Private tabhost mytabhost; @ override public void oncreate (bundle savedinstancestate) {super. oncreate (savedinstancestate); // setcontentview (R. layout. main); mytabhost = This. gettabhost (); layoutinflater. from (this ). inflate (R. layout. main, mytabhost. gettabcontentview (), true); mytabhost. addtab (mytabhost. newtabspec ("Tab 1 "). setindicator ("Tab 1", getresources (). getdrawable (R. drawable. img01 )). setcontent (R. id. ll01); mytabhost. addtab (mytabhost. newtabspec ("Tab 2 "). setindicator ("Tab 2", getresources (). getdrawable (R. drawable. img02 )). setcontent (R. id. ll01); mytabhost. addtab (mytabhost. newtabspec ("tab 3 "). setindicator ("tab 3", getresources (). getdrawable (R. drawable. img03 )). setcontent (R. id. ll03 ));}
Tab content layout file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/ll01" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:orientation="vertical"> <EditText android:id="@+id/widget34" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="EditText" android:textSize="18sp"> </EditText> <Button android:id="@+id/widget30" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Button"> </Button> </LinearLayout> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/ll02" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:orientation="vertical"> <AnalogClock android:id="@+id/widget36" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> </AnalogClock> </LinearLayout> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/ll03" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:orientation="vertical"> <RadioGroup android:id="@+id/widget43" android:layout_width="166px" android:layout_height="98px" android:orientation="vertical"> <RadioButton android:id="@+id/widget44" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="RadioButton"> </RadioButton> <RadioButton android:id="@+id/widget45" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="RadioButton"> </RadioButton> </RadioGroup> </LinearLayout> </FrameLayout>
The second method does not inherit tabactivity. You can define tabhost in the layout file, but the ID of tabwidget must be @ Android: ID/tabs. the ID of framelayout must be @ Android: ID/tabcontent.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/hometabs" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> <TabHost android:id="@+id/tabhost" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> <TabWidget android:id="@android:id/tabs" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> </TabWidget> <FrameLayout android:id="@android:id/tabcontent" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <TextView android:id="@+id/view1" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:text="Tab1"/> <TextView android:id="@+id/view2" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:text="Tab2"/> <TextView android:id="@+id/view3" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:text="Tab3"/> </FrameLayout> </LinearLayout> </TabHost> </LinearLayout>
Mainactivity
@Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); TabHost tabHost = (TabHost) findViewById(R.id.tabhost); tabHost.setup(); TabWidget tabWidget = tabHost.getTabWidget(); tabHost.addTab(tabHost .newTabSpec("tab1") .setIndicator("tab1", getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.img01)) .setContent(R.id.view1)); tabHost.addTab(tabHost .newTabSpec("tab2") .setIndicator("tab2", getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.img02)) .setContent(R.id.view2)); tabHost.addTab(tabHost .newTabSpec("tab3") .setIndicator("tab3", getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.img03)) .setContent(R.id.view3));
