Postby rock_win » Sat Mar 15, 2008 11:12 am

One more thing that i observed is, eclipse showing TabHost as deprecated.

Is there anything that i can try to show multiple tabs?

Hi rock_win,

First you should upgrade to the newest SDK. In the older versions TabHost is marked as deprecated because its not yet fully implemented.

Also your layout xml isn't valid. You have to place all your content layouts within ONE TabWidget. I thinks its not even possible to have more than one TabWidget at the same time...

Check out these links for an exmaple:
