Android — Add new tab when button click like Google Chrome new button? - android

In general, everything is working on Google Chrome. When the new tab button is clicked, a new tab is generated. In the same way, I want to add a new tab in the Android browser. How to do this — does anyone have any idea?
First, is it possible in Android?
If possible, how to do this?
When I click on the + button, a new tab should be generated. How to do this?

Ok Here is the code but it's an example only you may need to modify the code as per your requirement. I am giving you all the files code here hope you getting answer.
Your Manifest.xml file
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.android.dynamictab"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="15" />
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".BlankActivity"/>
</application>
</manifest>
here is your activity_main.xml file for Tab activity
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TabHost xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#android:id/tabhost"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="5dp" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
>
<HorizontalScrollView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:fillViewport="true"
android:scrollbars="none"
android:layout_weight="1">
<TabWidget
android:id="#android:id/tabs"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="0dip"
android:layout_marginRight="0dip" />
</HorizontalScrollView>
<Button android:id="#+id/add_tab"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.1"
android:text="Add"/>
</LinearLayout>
<FrameLayout
android:id="#android:id/tabcontent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:padding="2dp" />
</LinearLayout>
</TabHost>
Put your TabWidget into the HorizontalScrollView so when more tabs are add it can scrolling and the Add but is out side of HorizontalScrollView. Every time you click on tab it will add new tab in TabWidget.
Here the code for tab_event.xml This layout will inflate and add into tab. You can change the style and its contain a single Button so you can add drawable image with text also.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Button xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/button_event"
android:clickable="true"
android:focusable="true"
android:text="Default Tab"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
Here is your MainActivity.java file
import android.app.TabActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TabHost;
import android.widget.TabHost.TabSpec;
public class MainActivity extends TabActivity {
private static int tabIndex = 0;
private TabHost tabHost;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
tabHost = getTabHost();
addTab();
((Button)findViewById(R.id.add_tab)).setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
tabIndex++;
addTab();
}
});
}
private void addTab(){
LayoutInflater layoutInflate = LayoutInflater.from(MainActivity.this);
Button tabBtn = (Button)layoutInflate.inflate(R.layout.tab_event, null);
tabBtn.setText("Tab "+tabIndex);
Intent tabIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, BlankActivity.class);
setupTab(tabBtn, tabIntent,"Tab "+tabIndex);
}
protected void setupTab(View tabBtn, Intent setClass,String tag) {
TabSpec setContent = tabHost.newTabSpec(tag).setIndicator(tabBtn).setContent(setClass);
tabHost.addTab(setContent);
}
}
And here is the BlankActivity.java file
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class BlankActivity extends Activity{
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
TextView tv = new TextView(BlankActivity.this);
tv.setText("Blank activity");
setContentView(tv);
}
}

For button click create a new tabspec.
TabSpeec spec = th.newTabSpec("tag");
spec.setContent(new TabHost.TabContentFactory(){
//What ever thing you want to display inside the tab
TextView text = new TextView(CONTEXT);
text.setText("New tab");
return(text);
}
});
spec.setIndicator("New");
th.addTab(spec);
Use the following youtube tutorial as reference. Its simple.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcKSFlYEqYY

Create an Activity as below:
public class WebViewActivity extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
WebView wv=new WebView(this);
setContentView(wv);
}
}
Now use #Partik's method to add a new tab, on each + button click:
private void addTab(){
Button tabBtn = new Button(MainActivity.this);
tabBtn.setText("Tab "+tabIndex);
Intent tabIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, WebViewActivity.class);
setupTab(tabBtn, tabIntent,"Tab "+tabIndex);
}

assign button press to evoke a new page from sliding menu

I've implemented a sliding menu android framework by following a tutorial video, the menu works well but I can't figure out how to make the buttons generate new "fresh", i.e. distinct, pages wherein I can place subsequent components/"activities".
Right now all the buttons do is "toggle" back and forth between having the menu exposed, and hiding the menu, making visible the complete "landing page".
This is how it looks:
In my layout file, I think this is responsible for assigning functionality to the buttons:
<Button
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="toggleMenu"
android:text="Button 1" />
<Button
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="toggleMenu"
android:text="Button 2"/>
<Button
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="toggleMenu"
android:text="Button 3" />
So as you can see the buttons evoke the method toggleMenu which looks like this:
public void toggleMenu() {
switch (this.menuCurrentState){
case CLOSED:
this.menuCurrentState = MenuState.OPENING;
this.menu.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
this.menuAnimatonScroller.startScroll(0, 0, this.getMenuWidth(),
0, menuAnimationDuration);
break;
case OPEN:
this.menuCurrentState = MenuState.CLOSING;
this.menuAnimatonScroller.startScroll(this.currentContentOffset,
0, -this.currentContentOffset, 0, menuAnimationDuration);
break;
default:
return;
}
this.menuAnimationHandler.postDelayed(this.menuAnimationRunnable, menuAnimationPollingInterval);
this.invalidate();
}
I guess I need to make a new method for generating fresh pages and then assign that to the button push rather than toggle menu, I've tried this a few times using intent but I've not been able to quite figure it out.
What do I need to account for in such an operation?
How should such a function look?
The complete code can be found on my github page.
Thank you for your consideration.
dig this tutorial, it's one of the only helpful ones, in my opinion:

or check the pertinent info below"
XML Layouts
Create following two XML layout files in “res/layout/” folder :
res/layout/main.xml – Represent screen 1
res/layout/main2.xml – Represent screen 2
File : res/layout/main.xml
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="I&apos;m screen 1 (main.xml)"

2. Activities
Create two activity classes :
AppActivity.java –> main.xml
App2Activity.java –> main2.xml
To navigate from one screen to another screen, use following code :
Intent intent = new Intent(context, anotherActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);

final Context context = this;
button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
Intent intent = new Intent(context, App2Activity.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
}
}
File : App2Activity.java

new to android development- cant start a new activity [closed]

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.
Closed 10 years ago.
First- sorry if my question a bit dumb, I'm totally new to Android development ...
I'm trying to start a new activity from my "LAUNCHER" activity and run it on the emulator, but every time I click on the "Next" button (which should start my second activity), I get an error msg saying: "unfortunately, Omis hang man free has stopped", and then closes the app...
also, when I re-launch the same app in the emulator without re-installing it from Eclipse, it doesn't even showing me the first screen...
I don't even know where my problem lies, so I attached 5 codes:

I'm not looking for code improvements (I am only learning the language), so please do not send me suggestions to improve the code (I know there are a lot!) --- I just want this code to work.
The problem may be in the Intent. Try this:
Intent gameIntent = new Intent(OpenActivity.this, GameActivity.class);
Please Remove finish(); from onPause() Method from OpenActivity and remove gvGrid.addView(tt); from GameActivity because gridview is not container layout and write below code
Intent gameIntent = new Intent(OpenActivity.this, GameActivity.class);
startActivity(gameIntent);
instead of
Intent gameIntent = new Intent("com.omi.hangmanfree.GAMEACTIVITY");
startActivity(gameIntent);
it will solve your problem.
please replace in openActivity
Intent gameIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), GameActivity.class);
startActivity(gameIntent);
Try changing here:
Intent gameIntent = new Intent("com.omi.hangmanfree.GAMEACTIVITY");
startActivity(gameIntent);
to
Intent gameIntent = new Intent(OpenActivity.this, GameActivity.class);
startActivity(gameIntent);

ProgressDialog in Tabbar android

I am trying to make a tab bar application in android, after searching in google i found some tutorial and i succeeded. I want 3 tabs, when i click on 1st tab some data will be taken from server using asyntask and show the progressdialog in frontend, but the progressdialog is capturing the whole screen(with tabbar) and because of that i can't be able to switch the 2nd or 3rd tab.
Expected Output: Whenever i click on any tab a data will be taken from server in background, as i know data is loaded in background so for that time i want to switch 2nd tab or any other tab.

Just Put Progressbar for the child Activitys you are adding in TabHost .
First it will show progress bar of first activity in onCreate which you set as current activity and if you click on next tab it will show its progress dialog
if i get you correctly, you need to access the below activity components when the progress dialog is active.
for this you need to make non-modal/modeless progress dialog. non-modal dialogs will allow you to accept events by behind ui components
please refer the post below
timed modeless dialog

How to open layout on button click (android)

How can I open another layout xml file when I click on a button in main.xml file?
so if I have main.xml which has a button sying click here and I click it, it opens up second.xml file (layout).
First Create your two layout:
main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#ffffff" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:text="This is Activity 1" />
<Button android:text="Next"
android:id="#+id/Button01"
android:layout_width="250px"
android:textSize="18px"
android:layout_height="55px">
</Button>
</LinearLayout>
second.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#ffffff" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

Second Add your Activity to the manifest file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.rr"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<application android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:label="#string/app_name">
<activity android:name=".Activity1"
android:label="#string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".Activity2"></activity>
</application>
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3" />
</manifest>
Activity1.java
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
public class Activity1 extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Button next = (Button) findViewById(R.id.Button01);
next.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
Intent myIntent = new Intent(view.getContext(), Activity2.class);
startActivityForResult(myIntent, 0);
}
});
}
}
To switch to Activity2 you have to:
Gets a reference to the button with ID Button01 on the layout using
(Button) findViewById(R.id.Button01).
Create an OnClick listener for the button.
And the most important part, creates an “Intent” to start another
Activity. The intent needs two parameters: a context and the name of
the Activity that we want to start (Activity2.class)
Activity2.java
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
public class Activity2 extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.second);
Button next = (Button) findViewById(R.id.Button02);
next.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent();
setResult(RESULT_OK, intent);
finish();
}
});
}
-Inflate the button from the xml
-add an onClickListener on it
-set a new layout in the onClick event
Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.myButton);
btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
#Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
MyActivity.setContentView(R.layout.newlayout);
}
});
Something like this should work...
A Kotlin way:
-Add the onClick event directly in the designer.
Open the activity (Activity1.xml for example) file in the designer mode
Select the button that will trigger the transition
Add the function name on the onClick box of the right panel with all the button properties
-Open the Activity .kt file
Add the function with the name that you just defined in the designer
fun openActivity2(view: View) {
intent = Intent(view.context,Activity2::class.java)
startActivity(intent)
}
Now you have the function linked to the onClick event of your button

Getting a False return from listview

I am getting a false return when implementing a listview within a framelayout/tab layout. For the life of me I can't seem to figure out why I am getting a false return on my app when implementing a listview. The code works on a external project but I cant seem to intergrate it into this one. I will list the main activity groups used within the project and the xml file for the page that the string is meant to appear on. Sorry its alot of code but this has been driving me insane over the last few days cause it should be relatively simple.
The xml layout files are held in framelayout coding within the main.xml(which is not shown) so have I got the ID wrong when referencing? Any help to solve this problem would be amazing as I know its a really simple solution that Im just missing. Thanks guys.
If I havnt explained it well a picturee of the error is below
View the page here http://i41.tinypic.com/do04ee.png
Their are no log errors.
Main Activity
(Please note I have removed code to make it more relavant and clear and to show the links from activity to activity)
package workout.fitty;
import android.app.TabActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.res.Resources;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TabHost;
public class WorkoutFittyActivity extends TabActivity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Resources res = getResources(); // Resource object to get Drawables
TabHost tabHost = getTabHost(); // The activity TabHost
TabHost.TabSpec spec; // Resusable TabSpec for each tab
Intent intent; // Reusable Intent for each tab
// More
**intent = new Intent().setClass(this, MoreActivity.class);
spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("songs").setIndicator("More",
res.getDrawable(R.drawable.tab_more))
.setContent(intent);
tabHost.addTab(spec);**
tabHost.setCurrentTab(1);
}
}
MoreActivity
package workout.fitty;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class MoreActivity extends Activity {
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.more_layout);
Intent Intent = new Intent(this, MyListActivity.class);
}
}
MyListActivity
package workout.fitty;
import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MyListActivity extends ListActivity {
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
String[] values = new String[] { "BMI", "Body Measurements", "Logs",
"Feedback", "How To Use", "About" };
// Use your own layout
**ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
R.layout.more_layout, R.id.label, values);
setListAdapter(adapter);**
}
#Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
String item = (String) getListAdapter().getItem(position);
Toast.makeText(this, item + " selected", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
And the XML file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/icon"
android:layout_width="22px"
android:layout_height="22px"
android:layout_marginLeft="4px"
android:layout_marginRight="10px"
android:layout_marginTop="4px"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" >
</ImageView>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/label"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#+id/label"
android:textSize="20px" >
</TextView>
</LinearLayout>
Main XML File with container and framelayout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TabHost xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#android:id/tabhost"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:padding="5dp">
<TabWidget
android:id="#android:id/tabs"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<FrameLayout
android:id="#android:id/tabcontent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:padding="5dp" />
</LinearLayout>
</TabHost>
change your:
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
R.layout.more_layout, R.id.label, values);
in
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
R.layout.more_layout, values);
