Ok, i give up, I tried everything i could to reduce layers, but i am only as few as 5 so far :(( Seems to me impossible to do less, see screenshot showing my current layout here<http://7121106850168047486-a-1802744773732722657-s-sites.googlegroups.com/site/freeboxrecorder/project-updates/version160/fbr-1.6.0-programmer.png?attachauth=ANoY7cp6uSqcBGdi7yv_N_LjNb8PoaAwQRo2RcTVa1t0fYhweE6OgZ4so6QJobafkJTg44PSz_en4RyW8vmvQ9rQF9e-yDEk5rTm4l1TfJ8FHZRna3u3Ar3A4BGXrzkn1afW0fol1xHV4gLyjZNAS4znA3zzTq6ewGYdQ0e5ul1BwYoZzMPFwtLi0rzF5h36gOnu8wXR9tnREkqvb9MowwxuCNU3qiY3t-6vpDHVky5WzfKgLk2VahKacMqe8OSW00NEz-Q9o-Bs&attredirects=0>
With 5 layers, my application crashes randomly apparently when i try to add a background on top level layout. Even if i remove this background, i am not sure it will not crash because of something else. I saw for instance that getTabHost().setBackgroundColor(Color.BLACK) that i just tried in TabActivity also engenders crashes. My conclusion is that TabHost with activities-in-tabs is just too limited and seeing this unpredictable behaviour i think we can consider this as a bug. The only valid long term solution for me is to change all my application to views-in-tabs approach thought i will require me a lot of rework. This huge limitation should be clearly stated in the documentation and ApiDemos sample because it is something that really should be taken into account before developping an application. Thanks everybody who tried to help me on this subject.
