I've adapted the tabhost example on Xamarin site and create tabs thus
public class Activity1 : TabActivity
{
Et etc Oncreate etc ......
.... spec.SetIndicator("Journey",
Resources.GetDrawable(Resource.Drawable.jny4));
spec.SetContent(Resource.Id.tabview2);
this.TabHost.AddTab(spec);
et etc
}
On reading up around the subject there seems to be no way to hide the tab
bar when using this way of gdnerating tabs?
Is that correct?
The problem is this - perhaps someone could suggest a lateral thinking
solution ?
On a smaller smartphone - say wildfire with a 3.3" screen there very little
space when one pulls up the softkeyboard
I have a tab with 4 autocompleteTextviews and some buttons all within a
linear layout and scroll When entering inthe top one - no problem
The drop down box drops down and everything is visible even though the
softkeyboard leaves only enough UI space for 2 and ahalf edit boxes
The problem is that when focus moves to the second auto completetextview all
is ok until one starts to type in letters to activate the drop down list.
After letter one the whole thing scrolls automatically to display right at
the top of the screen (where the first autocomplete was and worked fine) but
the drop down box doesn't drop down it drops UP - and disappears upwards
off the screen so it is as much use as a chocolate fireguard. I cant find
anyway of controlling the drop down behaviour apart from determining its
android:dropDownHeight
I thought getting rid of the tabbar might give me a bit more UI real estate
and have got a bit hung up on that seemingly impossible task when what I
really need is to fix this drop down box which drops up
It was suggested somewhere on the net that this in the manifest would hide a
tab bar when the softinput was present but of course it doesn't
<activity android:name=".ActivityName"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan">
Any suggestion gratefully received
