    copied!<p>I never designed UIs (more of a middleware guy) before so I apologize if the question is stupid. I am designing a UI to look something like the following: </p> <blockquote> <hr> <h2>ImageView ImageView</h2> <p>TabHost </p> <h2>Tab 0 ------ Tab 1 ------ Tab 2</h2> <h2>-----INSIDE EACH TAB-----</h2> <p>TextView </p> <p>ListView </p> <h2> - Consists of ImageView TextView</h2> <hr> </blockquote> <p>The problem is I think I am following a very inefficient way of doing the whole stuff. The onCreate method is as follows:</p> <p>CODE:</p> <pre><code>public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); TabHost mTabHost = getTabHost(); Drawable Tab1Icon = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.tab1_icon); Drawable Tab2Icon = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.tab2_icon); Drawable Tab3Icon = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.tab3_icon); mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("Tab1").setIndicator("Tab 1", Tab1Icon).setContent(new Intent(this, Tab1.class))); mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("Tab2").setIndicator("Tab 2", Tab1Icon).setContent(new Intent(this, Tab2.class))); mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("Tab3").setIndicator("Tab 3", Tab1Icon).setContent(new Intent(this, Tab3.class))); mTabHost.setCurrentTab(0); } </code></pre> <p>This program crashes on CupCake (v1.5) complaining about StackOverflowException but runs well on Donut (v1.6). This is my main.xml: </p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;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="@color/application_background" &gt; &lt;TableLayout android:id="@+id/TableLayout01" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:stretchColumns="0" android:background="@color/application_background"&gt; &lt;TableRow&gt; &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"&gt; &lt;ImageView id="@+id/picview1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/leftlogo" android:paddingRight="105sp" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/picview2" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="@drawable/rightlogo" /&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; &lt;/TableRow&gt; &lt;TableRow&gt; &lt;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"&gt; &lt;LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"&gt; &lt;TabWidget android:id="@android:id/tabs" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /&gt; &lt;FrameLayout android:id="@android:id/tabcontent" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"&gt; &lt;/FrameLayout&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; &lt;/TabHost&gt; &lt;/TableRow&gt; &lt;/TableLayout&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; </code></pre> <p>Any suggestions regarding the design please? </p> <p>Thanks</p>
