Hey all I've created Google's exmaple of a tab layout HelloTabWidget. I know how to create my own icon to use instead of their grey and white microphone, but I can't figure out how to make my custom icon fill the entire tab. When the tab is selected it's a light grey with my pic in the middle and when not selected its a dark grey with my pic in the middle. I prefer to have my own pic fill the entire tab, and for more knowledgeable; my own choice in color to fill the tab.
Someone on a different site tried helping me, but I haven't gotten a response back, they said to use this, quote:" ImageView imgView = new ImageView(this); // Use imgView.setImageDrawable(Drawable drawable) or // imgView.setImageBitmap(Bitmap bitmap) to load // the image you want into imgView spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("artists").setIndicator(imgView).setContent(intent); I'm not sure if it's what you want but you can (in theory) use any View class as the Indicator if ImageView doesn't work for you. EDIT: I tried... BitmapDrawable bmd = new BitmapDrawable(); bmd = (BitmapDrawable) res.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_tab_artists_grey); iv.setImageDrawable(bmd); "-end message. I'm having trouble trying to use their method, I've tried putting: BitmapDrawable bmd = new BitmapDrawable(); at the top of my code, and for the tab: intent = new Intent().setClass(this, ArtistsActivity.class); spec = tabHost.newTabSpec ("artists").bmd = (BitmapDrawable) res.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_tab_artists_grey); iv.setImageDrawable(bmd); .setContent(intent); tabHost.addTab(spec); but I keep getting a lot of errors. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
