[cb03]

hi everybody.
I'm writing a program based on the example on web. It's ok but when i run it, there is a dialog show"the application Hello Tab widget(process.com.goolke.packagea) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
I don't know why.
Help me, please!!

Sounds like an exception was thrown inside your code. If you're using Eclipse you can debug the app through the emulator to see the exception.

Here's the example I wrote. I try to debug it but I don't really understand that message. Could u see the code and help me a little???????????
~thanks so much~

You made a couple of mistakes when copying this example from the Android site:

Tab Layout | Android Developers

1. You need to place the drawable (pictures + xml) resources in the res/drawable/ directory instead of res/drawable-hdpi/ directory.
2. The xml files you created (ic_tab_artists.xml, etc.) have an extra <resources> + </resources> XML tag pair. You should remove these tags from all three ic_tab_* files.
3. You need to update your Android manifest to define activities for ArtistsActivity, AlbumsActivity & SongsActivity (I think this step is not obvious from the web page).

There're 2 activities in the example below. But I just see an activity is defined in the Android manifest????? So I did the same with the example above( didn't defined 3 activities in the android manifest)
Could u explain more for me?????

 

[disco6stu9]

I attached a working version of the sample you are building.

The code written inside of onCreate instantiates three Intent objects. In order for these objects to work properly the Android Manifest needs define an Activity in the Android manifest in order to launch the appropriate code when you click on a Tab.

Every Android manifest has at least one Activity definition - i.e. the one that is executed when the application launches. Typically, if your class extends Activity or some child class of Activity, then you will want to include information about this class in your Android activity.

You can read more about Activities on the Android developer website:
Activity | Android Developers

Hope below could be a possible solution for the problem.


Check the VM size of the Emulator so that its good enough to run your app in its VM. Check the Size of your . Keep it in min sized so that Emulator will not find any difficulties in executing your app..


Cheers,
