ViewInflate problem

Hi,
could anyone please explain me what this line of code is really doing in TabActivity example of API:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

 
public class TabTest extends TabActivity {
 
    @Override
 
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 
        TabHost tabHost= getTabHost();
 
        LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.example_layout, tabHost.getTabContentView(), true);
 
        ...
 
Parsed in 0.031 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

All I found about inflating of xml, LayoutInflater documentation,..., didnt help me to understand what is really happening in the last line of the code above.
Can anybody explain to me what LayoutInflater actually does and what it is used for in that specific case?

What I intended to do is to have separate layout.xml files for each TabHost-Content. It would be great if someone could give me a code-example with how-to-look-xml-files for this particular problem.

Thanks in advance,
navajo

I have seen and answered multiple questions about inflating views. But I'll say it again one more time.
To inflate a view, you should do:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

View inflatedView = View.inflate(this, R.layout.layout, null);

Thanks for repeating it one more time, although it didnt help. I've already seen your and other developers answers on this matter elsewhere.
My problem is to understand what InflatedView does and in what cases it should be used.

I also mentioned my problem with TabHostContents, and it would be great, if someone could explain with a short example how this can be managed.

Hope this time I described my doubt more precisely.

Greetz,
