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

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);
}

Can i display the CallLog numbers in my edittext? New here

I have created a simple xml with one button and one edittext.
Upon clicking the button, i can get into the CallLog page.
Is it possible to display the selected numbers into my EditText, after i click on any numbers in my CallLog??
XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:baselineAligned="true"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edittext"
android:layout_width="172dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.29"
android:hint="CONTACT NUMBER" >
<requestFocus />
</EditText>
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="CALL LOG" />
</LinearLayout>
Coding:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
public class CallLogRetrieveActivity extends Activity {
Button myCallLogBtn;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
myCallLogBtn=(Button)findViewById(R.id.btn);
myCallLogBtn.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent myIntent=new Intent();
myIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_CALL_BUTTON);
startActivity(myIntent);
}});
}
}

You should start reading manual and tutorial first, not asking here about elementary things that you'd simply know after doing RTFM. So "yes, you can". But now please do your homework, by reading "android call log tutorial" googled materials. Nobody here is going that for you.

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.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);
}
}

String item = (String) getListAdapter().getItem(position);
Toast.makeText(this, item + " selected", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

change your:

in
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,

(Eclipse) Android force close

This is the java code and xml file for a program I am writing, and it force closes whenever i try to invoke the plusCalc button in-program. Could someone please tell me why?
Thank you!
Java file:
package org.example.knittingframe;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.content.Intent;
public class KnittingFrame extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
View plusCalc = findViewById(R.id.plus_calc_button);
plusCalc.setOnClickListener(this);
View exitbutton = findViewById(R.id.exit_button);
exitbutton.setOnClickListener(this);
}
public void onClick(View v) {
switch(v.getId()) {
case R.id.plus_calc_button:
startPlusCalc();
break;
case R.id.exit_button:
finish();
break;
}
}
public void startPlusCalc() {
Intent i = new Intent(this, PlusCalc.class);
startActivity(i);
}
}
Here is the XML file:
<?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">
<TextView
android:text="#string/main_label"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_marginBottom="25dip"
android:textSize="24.5sp" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/plus_calc_button"
android:layout_width="300px"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/plusCalc_label"
android:layout_gravity="center" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/exit_button"
android:layout_width="300px"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Exit"
android:layout_gravity="center" />
</LinearLayout>

Without the stack trace it appears that the problem is with declaring the PlusCalc.class class in the App Manifest file, because as you say, the error only appears when you click on the PlusCalc button.
If this doesn't help please post the stack trace.

Runtime Android exception after pressing a button to go to next Activity

I have this code:
package com.problemio;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
public class ProblemioActivity extends Activity
{
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Button addProblemButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.add_problem_button);
Button browseProblemsButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.browse_problems_button);
Button searchProblemsButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.search_problems_button);
Button myProblemsButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.my_problems_button);
addProblemButton.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent myIntent = new Intent(ProblemioActivity.this, AddProblemActivity.class);
ProblemioActivity.this.startActivity(myIntent);
}
});
}
}
It compiles fine and displays the addProblemButton button, but when that button is clicked, the system gives a runtime exception.
Here is the AddProblemActivity class:
package com.problemio;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class AddProblemActivity extends Activity
{
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
//TextView text = (TextView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.addProblemText);
//text.setText(R.string.addProblemText);
TextView tv = new TextView(this);
tv.setText("Please Add a Problem");
setContentView(tv);
}
}
and here is the 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"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="First, add the problem you want to solve!"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/add_problem_text"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Add a Problem You Want To See Solved"
/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/add_problem_button"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Add a Problem"
/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/browse_problems_button"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Browse Problems"
/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/search_problems_button"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Search Problems"
/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/my_problems_button"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="View My Problems"
/>
</LinearLayout>
any idea what might be going wrong? By the way, I can't seem to locate the stack trace of the exception. Where should I look for that in Eclipse? All it currently shows me is AndroidRuntimeException - dalvik.system.NativeStart.main
Thanks!!

The only problem I can think of is that your Activity "AddProblemActivity" is not register in the manifest.
See the logs under LogCat...you will find it in Window >Show View >Android > LogCat
