Example of using Android tabs with Views instead of Activities?

Question

The Android Developers TabWidget tutorial says the following:

\"You can implement your tab content in one of two ways: use the tabs to swap Views within the same Act

Answer 1

I used this one and it was fine for me http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/107693/Tabbed-Applications-in-Android

Answer 2

I think in the .setContent method of each tab you pass in the view you wish to use:

TabHost.TabSpec spec1 = tabs.newTabSpec("tag1");
spec1.setContent(R.id.AnalogClock01);
spec1.setIndicator("Analog Clock");

Here's an example I found awhile back:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>

  <TabHost android:id="@+id/TabHost01" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
    <TabWidget android:id="@android:id/tabs" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
    <FrameLayout android:id="@android:id/tabcontent" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:paddingTop="65px">
      <AnalogClock android:id="@+id/AnalogClock01" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"></AnalogClock>
      <DigitalClock android:text="DigitalClock01" android:id="@+id/DigitalClock01" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"></DigitalClock>
    </FrameLayout>
  </TabHost>
</LinearLayout>

And the Java code for this example is as follows:

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TabHost;

public class tabexample extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        TabHost tabs = (TabHost)findViewById(R.id.TabHost01);

        tabs.setup();

        TabHost.TabSpec spec1 = tabs.newTabSpec("tag1");

        spec1.setContent(R.id.AnalogClock01);
        spec1.setIndicator("Analog Clock");

        tabs.addTab(spec1);

        TabHost.TabSpec spec2 = tabs.newTabSpec("tag2");
        spec2.setContent(R.id.DigitalClock01);
        spec2.setIndicator("Digital Clock");

        tabs.addTab(spec2);
    }
}
