TabHost - I can't see icons

[Fossy]

Hello guys:

I have a TabHost with 5 tabs with icons, like this:

futbol = LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "futbol.png")
futbol_trans = LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "futbol_trans.png")
...
...

TabHost1.AddTabWithIcon("Fútbol", futbol_trans, futbol,"FanClub.bal")
...
...

I have added the png files to Files tab and Images Files in layout designer, and app compiles without error and all OK, but in device I only can see 5 tabs with names only, I can't see the icons... why?.

Thanks!!!

I *think* the new tabhost (API > 14) does not support icons.

Are you sure??..., in that case, exists any alternative?. I need to have icons in tabs.

Thanks!!.

Yes, I have test it with earlier versions of Android..., in API > 14 can't see icons in tabs and it see very ugly.

Please, any alternative component or solution?.

Thanks!!

In the new holo style (Android 4+) the tabs only show icons if there is no text.
