This seems a bit goofed up to me. First off, the FrameLayout holding your tabs should initially be empty. the TabHost will manage filling it in with the contents of the tab you've selected.
addTouchables is very certainly not what you want. You want to use addView() but make sure that the view you get with getCurrentView is what you expect. Make one tab have a <LinearLayout> with android:id="@ +id/foobarbaz", then check that getCurrentView hands you a view for which findViewById(R.id.foobarbaz) succeeds to find your LinearLayout. If not, try getCurrentTabView (there is nod ocumentation, so we're just stabbing in the dark here). The other solution is to better abstract the tab content in question and let the abstractions manage themselves. You can do this by separating the content of each tab into its own Activity and properly isolate them that way. When you click some button in Activity A, A can manage adding views to its layout entirely on its own. On Aug 21, 11:48 pm, Teo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ok, great, thanks for the help!
