i have 4 tabs on my main screen,
main ( set to current ) ,
Call, Email, Web
When a user clicks on any of tab
call, email or web, it starts making a
call, or go to compose a email, or opens up the browser respectfully.
Problem is, i want just three tabs (Call, Email, Web) and i Dont want any tab to be selected by default, means they should only become active when a user Touch them..(a
call or any service cant be main at all)
All java coding, XML file, and Manifest code is given below,
