[android-developers] Re: tabs iphone style

2009-10-06 Thread konic 

Hi, I am confused.
As far as I can see ppl just want to be able to do some cosmetic
adjustments
to the appearance of the tabs - mostly shape and position.
BTW, what about tabs on sides (for landscape layout maybe)?
We don't care about functionality (OK, "business logic"),
radio-buttons behavior and switching content will do just fine :)
So, why was it so hard for the Android Team to give us this ability
(cosmetic adjustments)
in the first place?
And next about nEx.Software code.
Can I somehow replace TabWidget only in the original TabHost?

[android-developers] Re: tabs iphone style

2009-09-18 Thread nEx.Software 

In case anyone is watching this thread, I'll post the example I threw
together here as well.

I was planning on writing a full blown tutorial but since I can tell
you are anxious to see it... This is a 1.5 compatible version that
uses modified versions of the TabActivity, TabHost, and TabWidget (and
related resources) from Android 1.6. There are obvious things that
could be done better but the idea is there and should at least get you
headed in the "right" direction.

http://nexsoftware.net/Android/Tutorials/CustomTabActivity.zip

This allows you to dynamically move the tabs from top to bottom, and
also allows you to hide or show them, you can swipe left or right to
switch tabs (particularly useful if you have hidden the tabs) and you
can also replace the activity of a tab with another activity. Because
this is the Tab framework from Android 1.6 you can also change the
View that is used for the tabs. Also... as I said, this is compatible
with Android 1.5.

I had actually copied the sources for TabActivity, TabHost, and
TabWidget from the Open Source Project yesterday, I didn't realize
that this was a change actually until your response. I am not even

Ah, yes. setIndicator() used to just have the Drawable options, not the
whole View. I'll have to experiment with these.

*blink, blink*

How do you "specify a view to use for a tab indicator"? Subclass
TabWidget and override getChildTabViewAt()? Or is there another trick?
Knowing that would be hugely useful, if you'd be willing to share the
technique.

2009-09-17 Thread nEx.Software 

It is incredibly easy to put tabs at the bottom... Just provide a
layout xml file that places the TabWidget at the bottom, you get
bottom tabs. You can then specify a view to use for a tab indicator,
so you can make it look however you want it to look.

[android-developers] Re: tabs iphone style

2009-09-16 Thread Wouter 

Hey,

I am using tabs also now because the example didn't worked for me..

You can see my application:

http://i29.tinypic.com/254wjtg.png (dont mind the images in the tabs,
have to replace them ;) )

But when i click on a item in my list i open an activity FilmDetail
but here the tabs are not visible.. So i have to press return button
to see my tabs again. How can i open this new activity in this
tabcontent so i can see the tabs and the filmdetail Activity?

[android-developers] Re: tabs iphone style

2009-09-16 Thread nEx.Software 

I have done custom tabs in my application (BarTor) using a modified
version of the TabHost and TabActivity that i got from the Android
Open Source Project. Granted, I leave the tabs at the top, but there
is nothing really stopping me from putting them at the bottom or the
the sides... I'd suggest trying that route, if you don't mind a little
extra work. Perhaps the example you posted is doing the same, I
haven't yet looked at it.

I see that there are android apps with this style of tabs:

http://www.mobilecrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/myspace-android.gif

It must be possible..

2009-09-16 Thread Wouter 

I have tried this but without success!

The example on anddev.org is taken from
http://code.google.com/p/undroid/source/browse/trunk/src/com/bitsetters/undroid/common/Footer.java

i have tried that example because they also work with different
activities per tab, but I got nullpointerexception in my layout file
and dont see the footer..

With a lot of work. There is no BottomTabsLikeIPhoneHas widget.

Having a bar of ImageButtons is easy. Giving them the proper transparent
background (so a sliver of the underlying ListView, as in your screenshot)
is the job of a graphic designer. Having the buttons change the contents
of the list could be done any number of ways, though I would start with a
ViewFlipper.
