Android : ugly TABS in 2.0 vs 1.5 ... why ? where are my rounded corners TABS ?
- by Hubert
I simply use the tabwidget :
mTabHost = getTabHost();
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab_1").setIndicator(getString(R.string.day0)).setContent(R.id.tab1_content));
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab_2").setIndicator(getString(R.string.day1)).setContent(R.id.tab2_content));
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab_3").setIndicator(getString(R.string.day2)).setContent(R.id.tab3_content));
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab_4").setIndicator(getString(R.string.day3)).setContent(R.id.tab4_content));
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab_5").setIndicator(getString(R.string.about)).setContent(R.id.tab5_content));
mTabHost.setCurrentTab(0);
Why are my tabs so uggly in 2.0 (no more rounded corners as in 1.5/1.6) ?
ugly tabs here
=
this was better
What should I do now to show "rounded corners" TABS to Nexus One (for exemple) users ;-) ?
Is it because of the following manifest lines :
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3"
android:targetSdkVersion="4" />
<supports-screens android:smallScreens="true"
android:normalScreens="true"
android:largeScreens="true"
android:anyDensity="true" />
I have to keep android:anyDensity="true" otherwise I've got a problem with re-sizing of the menus described here
As a separate question, my users can change the Locale within my app itself, I then "redraw" the menus using onPrepareOptionsMenu (Menu menu) to refresh the strings within the menu with the new language choosen by the user. Is there an equivalent for TABS (I have local strings within the Title of the TABS) or do I have to delete all the tabs and re-create them from scratch ?
Txs in advance for your help.
