"Tabbed Activity" template in Android Studio produces uncaught thread exception - android

I'm at a complete loss.
I am trying to create a simple Tabbed Activity from the Android Studio wizard. If I run the project, the app hangs, and I get a thread exception error.
D/AndroidRuntime﹕ Shutting down VM
W/dalvikvm﹕ threadid=1: thread exiting with uncaught exception (group=0x4179cda0)
I/dalvikvm﹕ threadid=3: reacting to signal 3
I/dalvikvm﹕ Wrote stack traces to '/data/anr/traces.txt'
Which dumps a 4,000 line long stack trace.. which I haven't been able to gather much from after glancing it over a few times.
I've been over this code a hundred times and I can't find anything that stands out. I am able to add a tabbed activity to a brand new project, but when I add it to my current project, it fails to run. I don't know what other info I can provide.. I've been at this all day long.
Manifest:
<activity
android:name=".Blah"
android:label="#string/title_activity_blah" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
It creates a new ViewPager activity
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Show Action Bar icons using FragmentActivity implements ActionBar.TabListener

I'm trying to show the action bar icons using FragmentActivity (with implements ActionBar.TabListener). I'm following this example : http://developer.android.com/training/implementing-navigation/lateral.html#tabs (EffectiveNavigation.zip) but i can't figure out how can i show the "search icon" (in my case) on the action bar, because for the moment i can only see the search option when tap the menu button.

Try changing app:showAsAction="ifRoom" to android:showAsAction="always" for the search icon. The custom namespace only needs to be used if you are using the v7 support library, which does not seem to be the case. With that in mind, you should also change the namespace for your other menu item.

You have 2 choices:
Transfer AdView code to your fragment's callback methods, e.g. onCreateView
Add the AdView directly to your activity's layout like this:

Adding Option Menu in android with Navigation Tabs

I just took the sample code shared by developer android site. I wanted to create a tabbed menu along with the option menu in the action bar. I want my activity to have the navigation tabs along with the action bar menu. I am not getting the action bar menu. But i have seen the applications which have navigation tabs as well as the action bar menu items as well. Please if someone helps me that would be of great help.

android:orderInCategory="100"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_new"
android:title="Add Template"
app:showAsAction="always"/>
Here are some things to try:
I assume that in your template_activity.xml you remembered to include the </menu> tag? (You might have only missed copying+pasting it into your question).
Try using this code in your activity:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.template_activity, menu);
return true;
}
Note: You may also have a possible typo in your getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.template_actvity, menu); line. Specifically, you misspelled "activity".
Edit: Try the following XML for your menu XML file:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<item
android:id="#+id/addTemplate"
android:orderInCategory="1"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_new"
android:title="Add Template"
android:showAsAction="always"/>
</menu>
As for getting the "three dot" overflow button, I realize now that you are using a device with a built-in menu button. It is intentional that devices with these don't include the overflow buttons. However, if you still want to implement this, you can read more about it here.

How to do Up navigation using ActionBar's tabs and Fragment?

I'm using the ActionBar and tab navigation with Fragments.
Each tab contain a Fragment FragmentX with a ListView, and when clicking on an item of a list FragmentX is replaced by another Fragment FragmentY with the detail of the item.
How can I set the Up button of the ActionBar to load FragmentX when I'm in FragmentY?
The doc shows that the navigation should be done between Activities, but the ActionBar's navigation tabs allow to navigate between Fragments, not Activities.
What am I missing?
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity implements
ActionBar.TabListener {
/**
* The {#link android.support.v4.view.PagerAdapter} that will provide
* fragments for each of the sections. We use a
* {#link android.support.v4.app.FragmentPagerAdapter} derivative, which
* will keep every loaded fragment in memory. If this becomes too memory
* intensive, it may be best to switch to a
* {#link android.support.v4.app.FragmentStatePagerAdapter}.
*/
SectionsPagerAdapter mSectionsPagerAdapter;
/**
* The {#link ViewPager} that will host the section contents.
*/
ViewPager mViewPager;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// Set up the action bar.
final ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
// Create the adapter that will return a fragment for each of the three
// primary sections of the app.
mSectionsPagerAdapter = new SectionsPagerAdapter(
getSupportFragmentManager());
// Set up the ViewPager with the sections adapter.
mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
mViewPager.setAdapter(mSectionsPagerAdapter);
// When swiping between different sections, select the corresponding
// tab. We can also use ActionBar.Tab#select() to do this if we have
// a reference to the Tab.
mViewPager
.setOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.SimpleOnPageChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onPageSelected(int position) {
actionBar.setSelectedNavigationItem(position);
}
});
// For each of the sections in the app, add a tab to the action bar.
for (int i = 0; i < mSectionsPagerAdapter.getCount(); i++) {
// Create a tab with text corresponding to the page title defined by

#Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
// getItem is called to instantiate the fragment for the given page.

// below) with the page number as its lone argument.
Fragment fragment = null;
switch(position){
case 0:
fragment = new MyListFragment1();
break;
case 1:
fragment = new MyListFragment2();
break;
case 2:
fragment = new MyListFragment3();
break;
default: fragment = new MyListFragment1();

return fragment;

#Override

return getString(R.string.title1).toUpperCase(l);
case 1:

case 2:
return getString(R.string.title3).toUpperCase(l);
}
return null;
}
}
}
Active up navigation when you load FragmentY.
Then intercept up navigation on onOptionsItemSelected, just popup the backstack and launch your FragmentX.
I've done a rapid search on SO and i found this, wich inspired me.
I didn't use the ActionBar in the end. Too many constraints (I had another issue and I wanted to add a View above the ActionBar, which seemed complicated).
It was much simpler doing my own layout from scratch.

Using Fragments with classes in Tabs (Android)

I have completed so many tutorials on this, yet I still have not found one which has helped. The problem is I am using Tabs (with swipe), and want each tab to load a different class (some tabs will have access to different data and databases, each tab will be completely different). I know I need to use fragments, but the tutorials just get each fragment to display 'Tab 1', 'Tab 2', etc. Does anybody know a tutorial which explains how to do this? Its driving me crazy! I´ve spent so many hours trying to figure this out. Tks
Here is how i do it:
My MainActivity with my ViewPager:
public class MainActivity extends SherlockFragmentActivity implements
ActionBar.TabListener {
/**
* The {#link android.support.v4.view.PagerAdapter} that will provide
* fragments for each of the sections. We use a
* {#link android.support.v4.app.FragmentPagerAdapter} derivative, which
* will keep every loaded fragment in memory. If this becomes too memory
* intensive, it may be best to switch to a
* {#link android.support.v4.app.FragmentStatePagerAdapter}.
*/
SectionsPagerAdapter mSectionsPagerAdapter;
/**
* The {#link ViewPager} that will host the section contents.
*/
ViewPager mViewPager;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// Set up the action bar.
final ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
// Create the adapter that will return a fragment for each of the three
// primary sections of the app.
mSectionsPagerAdapter = new SectionsPagerAdapter(
getSupportFragmentManager());
// Set up the ViewPager with the sections adapter.
mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
mViewPager.setAdapter(mSectionsPagerAdapter);
// When swiping between different sections, select the corresponding
// tab. We can also use ActionBar.Tab#select() to do this if we have
// a reference to the Tab.
mViewPager
.setOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.SimpleOnPageChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onPageSelected(int position) {
actionBar.setSelectedNavigationItem(position);
}
});
// For each of the sections in the app, add a tab to the action bar.
for (int i = 0; i < mSectionsPagerAdapter.getCount(); i++) {
// Create a tab with text corresponding to the page title defined by
// the adapter. Also specify this Activity object, which implements
// the TabListener interface, as the callback (listener) for when
// this tab is selected.
actionBar.addTab(actionBar.newTab()
.setText(mSectionsPagerAdapter.getPageTitle(i))
.setTabListener(this));
}
}
#Override
public void onTabSelected(ActionBar.Tab tab,
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction) {
// When the given tab is selected, switch to the corresponding page in
// the ViewPager.
mViewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition());
}
#Override
public void onTabUnselected(ActionBar.Tab tab,
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction) {
}
#Override
public void onTabReselected(ActionBar.Tab tab,
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction) {
}
public class SectionsPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
public SectionsPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
}
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
Fragment fragment = null;
if (position == 0) {
fragment = new Tab1Fragment();
}
if (position == 1) {
fragment = new Tab2Fragment();
}
if (position == 2) {
fragment = new Tab3Fragment();
}
if (position == 3) {
fragment = new Tab4Fragment();
}
return fragment;
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
// Show 4 total pages.
return 4;
}
#Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
switch (position) {
case 0:
return getString(R.string.title_section1).toUpperCase();
case 1:
return getString(R.string.title_section2).toUpperCase();
case 2:
return getString(R.string.title_section3).toUpperCase();
case 3:
return getString(R.string.title_section4).toUpperCase();
}
return null;
}
}
}
This loads a different fragment depending on which tab is selected. For example, if tab 2 is selected, it loads Tab2Fragment.java
