Thanks a lot – From VN

Hi, thank’you very much for the tutorial.
One consideration: I discovered that if you specify a min sdk version in your andorid manifest above “4″

the look and feel of tabs backgrounds changes…
The selected tab bk is dark grey whereas the others are black. This has an impact on your icons especially if you follow the Android gudelines for icons (http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design_tab.html) you end up that you have to invert the two status to make them visible on sdk >= 5.

Then I have a question: is there a way to specify a special icon for a tab that has been set as not enabled?
ie. tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(1).setEnabled(false);
I tried with

but it keeps using the “normal” state icon instead.
Thanks, Luca.

…ops the xml code is missing:

item android:drawable=”@drawable/ic_tab_checklist_disabled”
android:state_enabled=”false”

Thanks
That’s very good.I helped your code.

Good tut,
I wonder if there is a way to create tabs having an icon only and no text to meke them taller. I do not like these massive buttons and save some space.

Thanks
