Getting Android SDK WebView and TabWidget to play nice
- by jdandrea
I’m taking the HelloTabWidget Android example and trying two things:
Moving the tabs to the bottom vs. the
top (if that’s even desirable from an Android UI POV)
Making each tab show a particular
WebView in the space above
I’ve got this for a layout (high level):
<TabHost>
<LinearLayout>
<FrameLayout>
<WebView/>
<WebView/>
<WebView/>
<WebView/>
<WebView/>
</FrameLayout>
<TabWidget/>
</LinearLayout>
</TabHost>
Everything has a width/height set to fill_parent except for the TabWidget which has its layout_height set to wrap_content (and the layout_gravity set to bottom).
First thing I noticed is that WebViews don’t show anything until all the parents have width/height set to fill_parent. However, once I do that, they fill the entire display, obscuring the TabWidget.
Is there some other trick to making these two views play nicely together?
