Though this isn't in the guidelines formally yet, we are strongly recommending that activities switch to a "primary" tab when launched. For instance, Write should focus the "Text" toolbar; Paint should focus the "Tools" toolbar; Record should focus the "Photo" toolbar; etc.
In other words, whatever you consider to be the base set of tools needed to dive in to your activity you should expose up front, eliminating the need for the kids to manually switch tabs before exploring your activities. There is an API for switching tabs (as tabs should also switch automatically according to context, when appropriate), which can be used to accomplish this goal. Thanks for taking the time to do this! (And if you don't, we'll hunt you down at a later date with individualized bugs in trac. Consider yourself warned!) - Eben _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
