Re: [android-developers] Dynamically including a custom view defined in another app
And TabActivity doesn't fully support displaying activities... That functionality is left over from very early Android development days and there are all sorts of little gotchas and subtleties when using them to display activities. Really, each tab in a TabActivity should be a View and then it works much more nicely.

Re: [android-developers] Dynamically including a custom view defined in another app
How about TabActivity? Doesn't that do something similar to what I'm talking about (i.e. using a portion of the screen to show something created/controlled by (potentially) another app)?
