I am new to android development/eclipse and have run into a problem. I have 3 working apps that I programmed that work by themselves. One of these is a app that simply displays 2 tabs that when clicked don't really do anything. What I need to do is integrate my three programs together so that when you click on the tabs they start the other 2 apps. My biggest problem right now is the layout. I have them all together and compiled with no errors, but when I run it everything is displayed with the tabs and its a mess. My question is, how can I make it so that only the right stuff displays only when a tab is clicked. My xml file is a jumbled mess with like three different LinearLayouts. I am so new I don't know where to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What is displayed on the screen at one time is called an Activity. Looks like you want 3 activities, but what you have is only one Main Activity. You should display the 2 tabs on the Main Activity and then use an Intent to change between activities, when you press on the tabs.
For a reference, you can refer to the android developer site: http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/starting-activity.html
I hope this helps!

Have you guys seen Windows 10 navigation drawer? It always shows the buttons (icons) but it requires to press on "hamburger" to see the text of the buttons. Is there a way to implement this behavior using JavaFX or some sort of libraries?
And also would be great to have a solution that stretches/squeezes the main content view. I've been trying to find something like this but met no luck doing so. Please, help me out with this! Appreciate any help
I have an app with several activities in it. And had to change some of the flow within the pages. To do this I created a flyout side menu. The flyout menu works on its own . But when added to the main app it causes the whole app to crash.
So I will be on the main screen and click to go to the activity that has the flyout in it. And the app crashes between the 2 activities. Get and error say that there is something wrong with the onCreate().
this.root = (FlyOutContainer) this.getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.activity_main, null);
Just to help give a little more info. I am creating an app with a flyout menu that should allow me to click on various buttons and go to new activities. But I can not even get to the activiity that has the menu in it. And not sure how to switch between various activities.
I was trying out example of how to create Menu using SWT. I am using Eclipse on Mac. I was referring to this example. Whenever I run this example, I have two problems:
The Menu doesn't show up until I make it full screen.
The Menu buttons are unresponsive i.e when I click on Help, it doesn't show up the dropdown containing Get Help.
Do I have to make some spwcific changes while creating Menus on Mac?
Probably 7 years too late, but if anybody finds this I had the same problem and I simply switch to another window and switch back to the display and it worked. I don't know why it works but it did it for me and I hope it will for you as well.
I want to implement something simlar to this Google+ layout. The page scrolls until the tabs at the bottom hit the top. Then the list view in the tabs scroll. Does anyone have an idea to do that? (The tabs should still be visible but the content inside scrolls.)
Please don't hesitate to ask for clarification.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
If you were to use uiautomatorviewer to examine that app, I suspect that you will find that the tabs are a tabbed indicator for a ViewPager. PagerTabStrip is one that ships with the Android Support package, the ViewPagerIndicator library has another, and there are still more floating around out there. Such a tab strip can be placed pretty much anywhere.
I am new to Android development. I have seen a few tutorials and some textual references also. So I have a basic idea of Android. I am currently facing a problem while writing the JAVA code. I am unable to grasp the concept of what should be my next step while writing the code. Eg. I want to create an application for online attendance. I decided to have a text box for roll number and a 'submit' button to submit the attendance. Now in my Main.java file , after creating a button object, I am not following what my next step should be.
Similar situations arise when I try to make a jump from one page to another page.
I assume that you have managed to add a click listener to the button so, now you have to use intents to transition between activities.
