Hi,
I was trying the TabLayout Tutorial from official developers site. I didnt copy paste it as such and some minor changes and corrections to typos in the tut.
package com.org.example;
import android.app.TabActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.res.Resources;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TabHost;
public class HalloTabLayout extends TabActivity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Intent intent;
TabHost tabhost = getTabHost();
TabHost.TabSpec tabspec;
Resources res = getResources();
//For the Family Tab
//Intent
intent = new Intent().setClass(this, FamilyLayout.class);
//Setting the tab
tabspec = tabhost.newTabSpec("family").setIndicator("Family", res.getDrawable(R.drawable.tab_spec)).setContent(intent);
tabhost.addTab(tabspec);
//Default tab to display
tabhost.setCurrentTabByTag("family");
}
}
As a first step and make sure the code is right, I wanted to have a Single tab displayed.
I added the FamilyLayout activity to AndroidManifest.xml file and also made changes suggested in here. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2209406/issues-with-android-tabhost-example
But the application keeps crashing on run time in the emulator. Any help would be much appreciated.
[Solution:] I used a .jpeg of high resolution and size(3.5mb) which was cause of trouble. I changed it into a lower resolution, size pic and it worked without troubles. I found out via trial and error that images beyond 1600*900 will make apps crash. Not an exact statistic, but it may help.
