Thanks Dianne. Did you mean that usage of ActivityGroup and childs
activities are somehow discouraged.?

I had a sort of tabs before (implemented by buttons in layout), but

views/adapters, etc. so I changed to ActivityGroup implementation. It
seemed more coherent to the android activities/adapters coding model.
