After looking at my code over a couple of days and comparing it to other examples I found that I had been using the following code in my set up which the galaxy tab didnt seem to like:
<TabHost xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/ apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/my_tabhost" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" > <LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:padding="5dp"> <TabWidget android:id="@android:id/tabs" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"/> <FrameLayout android:id="@android:id/tabcontent" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:padding="5dp"> I got rid of the padding and changed that code to the following and now all is well and I have my custom menu just how I wanted :) thanks to that dude Mark otherwise known as CommonsWare :) <TabHost xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/my_tabhost" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" > <LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"> <TabWidget android:id="@android:id/tabs" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"/> <FrameLayout android:id="@android:id/tabcontent" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> For some reason I think the padding had cause the view in the tabhost to show up empty or be registered that it had been set to GONE regardless that I had set it to VISIBLE in my java class. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
