Yes but that removes a child view, doesn't it? And this view i want to remove (the TabHost object) isn't really a child of another view, it's the first thing in the base LinearLayout. I've also tried with getParent() and casting to LinearLayout but that gives me an error.
Here's my code below: if (tabs!=null){ ((LinearLayout)(tabs.getParent())).removeView(tabs); } tabs=(TabHost)findViewById(R.id.tabhost); tabs.setup(); // i want to be able to call this again and again //because it's in onResume() and the XML: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 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="fill_parent"> <TabWidget android:id="@android:id/tabs" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> <FrameLayout android:id="@android:id/tabcontent" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:paddingTop="62px"> </FrameLayout> </TabHost> </LinearLayout> Basically all i want is to be able to get a fresh, new TabHost object instead of the old one..
