Thanks for the help. I didn't actually manage it this way, but somehow i saw the *createTabContent* function from *TabContentFactory* (which i was already using actually) is called every time a tab is selected, not just at its creation. So i make a completely new *LinearLayout* inside the tab and just return it as the content, being able to do whatever i want in that * LinearLayout*.
Thanks for the help again. On Fri, Aug 22, 2008 at 7:20 PM, Josh Guilfoyle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > This seems a bit goofed up to me.
