setFocus() is about what component will get keyboard input. I think you are using "tab" to mean a TabNavigator child which is a container which never gets focus. Only some control like a TextInput or Button or ADG gets focus
If you want an ADG in a new Tabnavigator child to get focus, you should probably first call validateNow() after addChild(), set selectedIndex to the new tab, call validateNow() again, then call adg.setFocus() On 11/12/13 11:32 AM, "Oleg Konovalov" <oleg...@gmail.com> wrote: >I am on one tab.
