I am experimenting with using a TabHost, with a separate Task running in each Tab. This appears to work, however, when I log out getTaskId() on the various lifecycle methods, I see that the Task ID is "-1" for all of the Tasks that I start at the root of each tab.
I'm wondering what a Task ID of "-1" means. I'm guessing it might mean that this Activity is a child activity of the parent tab ActivityGroup? And if this is the case, it would generally mean that I cannot start a new Task for each Tab selected? I don't like the idea of using Tabs in the first place, but I'd like some UI for the user to launch from. Menus won't cut it here. Does it make sense to just put a button-bar at the footer of each of my activities to allow the user to quickly jump to that "simulated tab" and move to that Task? I definitely want separate Tasks so I get separate back-stacks. If anyone has built this style of navigation, I would appreciate hearing different options. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
