Does this solution works for everyone except for me? Here they talk about the same, suggesting the same: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3647821/android-highlighted-tab-of-tabwidget-not-readable-on-htc-sense
But, for me, it is still broken.. I have a HTC Desire, with builtin Sense UI, Android 2.2, recently updated to build version 2.29.405.2. Whenever there is a standard Android TabWidget (my own app or even the API Demos), the selected tab's label text is unreadable, because it is nearly the same shade of gray as the background of the selected tab header. Yes, I have android:targetSdkVersion="4" in the manifest, but the problem still exists.. If I set the color to white manually, it is readable on my Desire, but won't be readable on any device with stock, senseUI-less Android. Is there a way to tell whether a device is running with Sense UI? (Which not involves asking the user..) (I know, this was already asked in this group; http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/464bb67f67989aad/10fe10da56a6842b?lnk=gst&q=sense+ui#10fe10da56a6842b There Dianne Hackborn asked why would anyone want to know whether on Sense or not.. well, this is an example... ) (I haven't come across any builtin apps which used the builtin TabWidget, they use their own tabbing..) It is a pity that such a simple thing like builtin, uncustomized tabbing is broken between different vendor-UI customizations.. cheers Turi András On Sun, Dec 12, 2010 at 8:22 AM, JonFHancock <[email protected]> wrote: > > Yes and it drives me mad! > > The only solution I have found is to target my app to 1.6 (sdk 4). > Then the tabs look the same across all devices, but they look like > sense tabs. > > > On Dec 11, 1:54 pm, JimmyHoffa <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> Has anyone found themselves with the same problem I do when using a >> TabWidget on Sense Devices. >> >> It appears that the text colour for selected/unselected tabs are >> reversed.
