TabHost NullPointerException in layout
- by Chubbs
I been following the Tab example provided by Google. I am trying to use the XML layout provided to setup a tab layout.
I use this XML layout @ http://developer.android.com/guide/tutorials/views/hello-tabwidget.html
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TabHost xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@android:id/tabhost"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TabWidget
android:id="@android:id/tabs"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<FrameLayout
android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textview1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:text="this is a tab" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textview2"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:text="this is another tab" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textview3"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:text="this is a third tab" />
</FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</TabHost>
When ever I switch the Layout tab in the Eclipse layout designer I get a NullPointerException: null error inside my Eclipse.
This happens also when I try to drag and drop a TabHost, and then a TabWidget into an empty layout file.
What am I doing wrong ? this seems pretty simple.
