Implementing Tab Example in android using TabActivity

Tab is the best way to display more than one page in a single page. For example, we have three .xml files and we want to show one file at a time but if user wants to see other files then he/she can see those by clicking on the tabs. The concept can be more cleared with the following example:

As shown in the above screenshot that we have three tabs in our example i.e

Home
About us
Contact us

We will implement Tab example by extending TabActivity class into our mainActivity class. Follow these steps:

Make new project and name it as "TabExapmle" and then type down the name of package.
Now make three .xml files in Tabexaple/res.

firsttab.xml
secondtab.xml
thirdtab.xml

Now copy and paste the following code into these three files respectively:

firsttab.xml

xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:id="@+id/layout1"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="match_parent"

<TextView

android:id="@+id/textView1"

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:textSize="25sp"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"

android:layout_alignParentTop="true"

android:text="This is Home tab."

android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />

<TextView

android:id="@+id/textView2"

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"

android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"

android:text="AT4U" />

</RelativeLayout>

secondtab.xml

xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:id="@+id/layout1"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="match_parent"

<TextView

android:id="@+id/textView1"

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:textSize="25sp"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"

android:layout_alignParentTop="true"

android:text="This is About us tab."

android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />

<TextView

android:id="@+id/textView2"

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"

android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"

android:text="AT4U" />

</RelativeLayout>

thirdtab.xml

xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:id="@+id/layout1"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="match_parent"

<TextView

android:id="@+id/textView1"

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:textSize="25sp"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"

android:layout_alignParentTop="true"

android:text="This is Contact us tab."

android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />

<TextView

android:id="@+id/textView2"

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"

android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"

android:text="AT4U" />

</RelativeLayout>

Now inside src folder, make three .java files

first.java
second.java
third.java

Add the following code in these three files.

first.java

package com.example.tabexample;

import android.app.Activity;

import android.os.Bundle;

public class first extends Activity {

@Override

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.firsttab);

}

second.java

package com.example.tabexample;

import android.app.Activity;

import android.os.Bundle;

public class first extends Activity {

@Override

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.secondtab);

}

third.java

package com.example.tabexample;

import android.app.Activity;

import android.os.Bundle;

public class first extends Activity {

@Override

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.thirdtab);

}

Now come to the mainActivity.java file and copy the following code in that file

MainActivity.java

package com.example.tabexample;

import android.os.Bundle;

import android.app.~~TabActivity~~;

import android.content.Intent;

import android.view.Menu;

import android.widget.TabHost;

@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")

public class MainActivity extends ~~TabActivity~~ {

@Override

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

//setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

TabHost tab = getTabHost();

tab.setup();

// For first tab

TabHost.TabSpec spe = tab.newTabSpec("first"); //id

spe.setIndicator("Home"); //text

Intent it=new Intent(getApplicationContext(), first.class);

spe.setContent(it);

tab.addTab(spe);

// For second tab

spe = tab.newTabSpec("second"); // id

spe.setIndicator("about us"); // text to shown on tab bar

Intent it1=new Intent(getApplicationContext(), second.class);

spe.setContent(it1);

tab.addTab(spe);

// For Third tab

spe = tab.newTabSpec("third"); // id

spe.setIndicator("Contact us"); // text to shown on tab bar

Intent it2=new Intent(getApplicationContext(), third.class);

spe.setContent(it2);

tab.addTab(spe);

}

@Override

public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {

// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.

getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);

return true;

}
