Android Tab Layout Tutorial working example

So, I’m working through Android tutorials and as it turns out the big G has not done an excellent job with some of the tutes. Little things are missing that break the application. In this case I wanted to post the contents of my AndroidManifest.xml for the Tab Layout tutorial. With this file I got my sample app working on the emulator. Most of the tutorial is pretty good, so just follow that. If you have questions, let me know.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     package="com.example.hellotabview"
     android:versionCode="1"
     android:versionName="1.0">
    <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
        <activity android:name=".HelloTabWidget"
                 android:label="@string/app_name"
                 android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    <activity android:name=".AlbumsActivity"
                 android:label="@string/app_name"
                 android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar">
        </activity>
  <activity android:name=".ArtistsActivity"
                 android:label="@string/app_name"
                 android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar">
        </activity>
          <activity android:name=".SongsActivity"
                 android:label="@string/app_name"
                 android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar">
        </activity>
    </application>
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" />

</manifest>

    Thanks men. This really helped me.
    I thought the same thing about google. All the previous tutorials were fine, but this one really sucks. I even searched the page to see if google had a link to contact them…. no luck.

    Thanks again!

    Thank you for this. I’ve been having problems with a couple of their tutorials. It briefly mentions adding the Activity to the Manifest but doesn’t say what to add. Thanks again.

    Thanks a lot! I was stuck getting a forced application close, because the AndroidManifest I adapted from somewhere else was not appropriate. The original tutorial should definitely addresss this.

    maybe im stupid and only i dont get this

    this page is for: “Android Tab Layout Tutorial working example”

    all i see is this manifest example that you placed here

    what else is there in this page to explain about tab layout

    @gil – the complete tutorial is on the android official site. the manifest there didn’t work for me, so I pasted here a version of the manifest that did. that’s it.

    Should have figured that one out by myself. Its quite obvious that you need to have all activities in the manifest file….

    I am still having the same problem. Does anyone actually have a working downloadable sample, or at least any guidelines other than the rubbish google docs?

  19. By Tim, January 6, 2012 @ 12:47 pm

    Big G should care about small mistakes. It gives hard time to other, because people trust them.
