Im trying to Combine drawer navigation and tab navigation together. I have successfully combined the 2. When i launched the app for first time, everything works fine. However, after I click on the drawer item and back to the tabs fragments, there are too many tabs added. I tried to limit the number and it did not work. Also, when I open the other fragments in the drawer item, the tabs still remains.
here's some pictures to show
when I first open the app
after I open the drawer
When I back to the first fragment again
Here's my code for the tabs fragment's on createview
private ActionBar actionBar;
private String[] tabs={ "1", "2", "3","4" };
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_home, container, false);
mSectionsPagerAdapter = new SectionsPagerAdapter(
getChildFragmentManager());
mViewPager = (ViewPager) v.findViewById(R.id.pager);
mViewPager.setAdapter(mSectionsPagerAdapter);
mViewPager.setOnPageChangeListener(
new ViewPager.SimpleOnPageChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onPageSelected(int position) {
// When swiping between pages, select the
// corresponding tab.
getActivity().getActionBar().setSelectedNavigationItem(position);
}
});
actionBar=getActivity().getActionBar();
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
ActionBar.TabListener tabListener = new ActionBar.TabListener() {
public void onTabSelected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
// show the given tab
mViewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition());
}
public void onTabUnselected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
// hide the given tab
}
public void onTabReselected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
// probably ignore this event
}
};
for (String tab_name : tabs) {
actionBar.addTab(actionBar.newTab().setText(tab_name)
.setTabListener(tabListener));
}
return v;
}
I think its the
actionBar.addTab(actionBar.newTab().setText(tab_name)
.setTabListener(tabListener));
part that makes this happened , can anyone help me how to fix it?
You must call actionBar.removeAllTabs() before adding tabs...because you didn't call actionBar.removeAllTabs() they cummulated (4+4)...
P.S. Please don't use actionbar and navigation modes anymore..Action bar navigation modes are deprecated in Android L
Replace actionBar with toolbar, and replace tabs with the PagerTabStrip or something else...
The onCreateView() method will be called when a frament is attached to an Activity and its view must be created, then the code to add tabs to ActionBar will be called more than once, and this cause your problem.
Since ActionBar is belongs to your Activity, not your Fragment, you'd better add tabs to it in your Activity, move the following code to your Activity should help:
private ActionBar actionBar;
private String[] tabs={ "1", "2", "3","4" };
actionBar=getActivity().getActionBar(); // remove getActivity().
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
ActionBar.TabListener tabListener = new ActionBar.TabListener() {
public void onTabSelected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
// show the given tab
// This line need to be changed, you can make a public method in
// your fragment which set the current item of ViewPager, and
// call the method in the Activity.
mViewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition());
}
public void onTabUnselected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
// hide the given tab
}
public void onTabReselected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
// probably ignore this event
}
};
for (String tab_name : tabs) {
actionBar.addTab(actionBar.newTab().setText(tab_name)
.setTabListener(tabListener));
}

I currently have Tab Based app and the tabs are on bottom. Is there any way to put them up?
Add Tabs To Action Bar
To create tabs using ActionBar, you need to enable
NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS, then create several instances of ActionBar.Tab
and supply an implementation of the ActionBar.TabListener interface
for each one. For example, in your activity's onCreate() method, you
can use code similar to this:
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
final ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
// Specify that tabs should be displayed in the action bar.
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
// Create a tab listener that is called when the user changes tabs.
ActionBar.TabListener tabListener = new ActionBar.TabListener() {
public void onTabSelected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
// show the given tab
}
public void onTabUnselected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
// hide the given tab
}
public void onTabReselected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
// probably ignore this event
}
};
// Add 3 tabs, specifying the tab's text and TabListener
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
actionBar.addTab(actionBar.newTab().setText("Tab " + (i + 1)).setTabListener(tabListener));
}
}
How you handle the ActionBar.TabListener callbacks to change tabs
depends on how you've constructed your content. But if you're using
fragments for each tab with ViewPager as shown above, the following
section shows how to switch between pages when the user selects a tab
and also update the selected tab when the user swipes between pages.
From Docs.
Here the summary of my 'project' on Android 4.x and the problem I can't solve:
i have an actionBar with 2 tabs (i know it is deprecated):
...
Fragment fragmentTab1 = new FragmentTab1();
Fragment fragmentTab2 = new FragmentTab2();
Fragment fragmentTab3 = new FragmentTab3();
ActionBar.Tab tab1, tab2;
ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
tab1 = actionBar.newTab().setText("tab1");
tab2 = actionBar.newTab().setText("tab2");
tab1.setTabListener(new MyTabListener(fragmentTab1));
tab2.setTabListener(new MyTabListener(fragmentTab2));
actionBar.addTab(tab1);
actionBar.addTab(tab2);
...
I would like to change the fragment of a tab and refresh what the user sees, doing that in a method (not only when the tab is (re)selected).
It sounds simple, but impossible to find a easy way to do that.
After many fails, this is what I try (i remove the tab and add it with a new fragment):
void myMethod () {
getActionBar().removeTabAt(0);
tab1 = actionBar.newTab().setText("tab3");
tab1.setTabListener(new MyTabListener(fragmentTab3));
getActionBar().addTab(tab1, 0);
...
And then this awful thing to desesperatly try to update what is seen...
...
getActionBar().setSelectedNavigationItem(tab1.getPosition()+1);
getActionBar().setSelectedNavigationItem(tab1.getPosition());
}
Everything goes as wanted, except that the reselected tab1 is empty... :(
If I select with my finger tab2 then tab1 (so manually in place of programmaticaly), then tab1 appears as wanted...
So, how can I change programmaticaly the content of a tab and refresh what is seen in an actionBar?
Already a big thanks for your time!
You should depend on TabListener methods, don't do getActionBar().setSelectedNavigationItem(). There are good code samples on the Internet.
1) Google webpage # Creating Swipe Views with Tabs. Code snippet:
ActionBar.TabListener tabListener = new ActionBar.TabListener() {
public void onTabSelected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
// show the given tab
}
public void onTabUnselected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
// hide the given tab
}
public void onTabReselected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
// probably ignore this event
}
};
Notes: Refresh your data in onTabSelected(). You may check for tags or text in tab parameter.
2) Another good link for you # Android Fragment Tabs Example. Code snippet from the link:
public class TabListener implements ActionBar.TabListener {
private Fragment fragment;
public TabListener(Fragment fragment) {
this.fragment = fragment;
}
// When a tab is tapped, the FragmentTransaction replaces
// the content of our main layout with the specified fragment;
// that's why we declared an id for the main layout.
#Override
public void onTabSelected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
ft.replace(R.id.activity_main, fragment);
}
Notes: Again, refresh your data in onTabSelected(). I have to warn you that TabListener is deprecated in the new Lollipop API.
EDIT:
Sample code to set Tabs to the correct Fragments.
// Setting tab listeners.
bmwTab.setTabListener(new TabListener(bmwFragmentTab));
toyotaTab.setTabListener(new TabListener(toyotaFragmentTab));
fordTab.setTabListener(new TabListener(fordFragmentTab));
Good luck and have fun...
My Navigation Drawer works just fine!!
But i want to modify it such as to display drawer below viewpager tabs.
I have used Navigation Drawer by adding it into my activity and then accessed it but this time the scenario is different and want to display drawer below tabs.
Can i add Navigation Drawer in fragment layout and access it from fragment class or if its not possible / recommended then how can i achieve the same.
Please refer attached screenshot for problem understanding.
Thanks in advance.
You have two way to achieve this.
1. Method One, the sustainable
Use support.v7.Toolbar in your Layout and placing correctly your NavigationDrawer will feet your need. Moreover, it's more durable.
2. Method two: the old one
Use ActionBar Tabs see http://developer.android.com/training/implementing-navigation/lateral.html#tabs
The main part is
final ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
...
// Specify that tabs should be displayed in the action bar.
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
// Create a tab listener that is called when the user changes tabs.
ActionBar.TabListener tabListener = new ActionBar.TabListener() {
public void onTabSelected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
// show the given tab
}
public void onTabUnselected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
// hide the given tab
}
public void onTabReselected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
// probably ignore this event
}
};
// Add 3 tabs, specifying the tab's text and TabListener
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
actionBar.addTab(
actionBar.newTab()
.setText("Tab " + (i + 1))
.setTabListener(tabListener));
}
I've created a class with Sherlock Fragment to enable the Swipe view with ViewPager. Now I'm trying to change the tab background which was possible in tabspec using setBackgroundResource() method but It's not working. I would like to add custom background for each tabs while its being focused/selected/not selected.
I tried using a selector but It didn't worked
<item android:drawable="#drawable/selected" android:state_selected="true"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/not_selected" android:state_selected="false"/>
mActionBar.setStackedBackgroundDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(
R.drawable.tab_indicator));
Here is my main class
public class MainActivity extends SherlockFragmentActivity {
// Declare Variables
ActionBar mActionBar;
ViewPager mPager;
Tab tab;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Get the view from activity_main.xml
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// Activate Navigation Mode Tabs
mActionBar = getSupportActionBar();
mActionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
// Locate ViewPager in activity_main.xml
mPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
// Activate Fragment Manager
FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
// Capture ViewPager page swipes
ViewPager.SimpleOnPageChangeListener ViewPagerListener = new ViewPager.SimpleOnPageChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onPageSelected(int position) {
super.onPageSelected(position);
// Find the ViewPager Position
mActionBar.setSelectedNavigationItem(position);
}
};
mPager.setOnPageChangeListener(ViewPagerListener);
// Locate the adapter class called ViewPagerAdapter.java
ViewPagerAdapter viewpageradapter = new ViewPagerAdapter(fm);
// Set the View Pager Adapter into ViewPager
mPager.setAdapter(viewpageradapter);
// Capture tab button clicks
ActionBar.TabListener tabListener = new ActionBar.TabListener() {
#Override
public void onTabSelected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
// Pass the position on tab click to ViewPager
mPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition());
}
#Override
public void onTabUnselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
#Override
public void onTabReselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
};
// Create first Tab
tab = mActionBar.newTab().setText("Tab1").setTabListener(tabListener);
mActionBar.addTab(tab);
// Create second Tab
tab = mActionBar.newTab().setText("Tab2").setTabListener(tabListener);
mActionBar.addTab(tab);
// Create third Tab
tab = mActionBar.newTab().setText("Tab3").setTabListener(tabListener);
mActionBar.addTab(tab);
}
}
This is based on something I just did (and my, what a pain it was).
I haven't tried compiling this but hopefully it helps. Good Luck!
In main activity's onCreate method, replace your addTab statements with this:
ActionBar.Tab tab1 = mActionBar.newTab().setTabListener(tabListener);
//Create a temporary RelativeLayout and inflate it with your custom layout
RelativeLayout rl1 = (RelativeLayout) getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.tabLayout, null);
//Set the title of the tab
TextView t1 = (TextView) rl1.findViewById(R.id.tab1_text);
t1.setText("Tab1 Title");
t1.setMinimumWidth(150);//Prevents the tabs from becoming too small on larger screens, Change as needed
//Set the background of the tab to the layout you just created
tab1.setCustomView(rl1);
//Add the tab to your ActionBar
mActionBar.addTab(tab1);
tab1Layout.xml
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:padding="0dp"
android:background="#drawable/yourDrawable"
android:layout_margin="0dp">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tab1_text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
style="#style/yourStyleIfYouWantToUseOne"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:gravity="center|center_horizontal"
android:textStyle="bold"/>
</RelativeLayout>
Basically, we're creating a "fake" tab by just putting a TextView in a layout and adding a background.
As and additional note, your drawable needs to include a selector for both the selected and unselected drawables. If you need an example, look at what is generated by the Android Asset Studio, which is what I used to make my tabs.
Repeat this for as many tabs as you need.
If any part of this is vague or confusing, feel free to ask questions. ;)
I want to make 2 tabs both contain fragments and have swipe functionality. I have got everything working however the tabs are not styled.
I want to use the holo light theme and have defined this in my manifest like so...
<application android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:label="#string/app_name" android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Holo.Light">
What is the problem?
Take a look at this example : https://developer.android.com/training/implementing-navigation/lateral.html
As for customizing you can use the style generator download the file and copy it into your project its an easy way to create the basics.
