Android Question B4A Multi-level Tabhost

[geoffschultz]

I've never developed an Android/B4A app before, but am looking at designing one for internal use at a non-profit in B4A. The design that I want to go would use a 2 level tabbed design.

I've been studying the B4A tutorials, but none of them address this. It's probably quite simple, but before I assume anything, I thought that I'd just ask for a basic overview as to implement this.

Thanks in advance for any help/pointers that you can provide.

What do you mean with "2 level tabbed design"? I would play arround and do it on my own (f.e. labels, panels, images etc.). Advantage is that you have full control of what the desigh will be.

I want to have an upper level of tabs and then under each upper level there will be several other tabs.

For example, the 3 upper level tabs will be: Home, Customer, Donor. Under "Customer" there will be "Search", "Details", "Items" tabs. We have a PC based Access database application that utilizes this functionality and it works very well, so I want to be consistent.

I am just confused as to how one creates a set of tabs within a tab.

@Klaus Matle he means one row on top of another, like a brick wall but with only 2 layers of bricks. Well I think that is what he mean.

Sorry but I can't think of a way to do that. Maybe @warwound will know as he has a library called Tabhost Extra...

You can put a TabHost inside another TabHost.

Though it will probably be better to use StdActionBar: ActionBar / Sliding Pages tutorial
