Android 自定义 TabActivity 的实例方法

系统自带的TabActivity的效果不甚理想。开发中对TabActivity自定义可能有两种：第一种：改变TAB行的位置，如放到页面下方。第二种：对TabHost图片的自定义。

一、改变Tab栏的位置

在TabActivity的oncreate方法中添加setContentView(R.layout.tab_host);

其中 Layout tab_host.xml 是从系统资源文件中抠出来之后略作修改。

系统原来的 tab_host.xml内容如下

< 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="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent">
    <LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent">
        <TabWidget android:id="@android:id/tabs" android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="0" />
        <FrameLayout android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
            android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="0dip"
            android:layout_weight="1"/>
    </LinearLayout>
</TabHost>

要实现TAB栏在页面下方，只需简单修改。

< 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:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
                 <FrameLayout android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
                 android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dip"
            android:layout_weight="1"/>
       <TabWidget android:id="@android:id/tabs" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="0" />
         </LinearLayout>
 </TabHost>

这样，就实现了ＴＡＢ栏在页面下册。需要注意的是，view的id不要修改。

二、自定义TAB的图片

系统自带的tab_indicator.xml内容如下

< xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" >

-->
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="0dip"
    android:layout_height="64dip"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:layout_marginLeft="-3dip"
    android:layout_marginRight="-3dip"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:background="@android:drawable/tab_indicator">
    <ImageView android:id="@+id/icon"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    />
    <TextView android:id="@+id/title"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        style=" android:attr/tabWidgetStyle"
    />
</RelativeLayout>

可以看出，默认情况下，图标在文字上方，并且不能占到整个格，无法满足设计需要。因此可以重写该Layout。

编写tab_in.xml

< xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" >
 <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"
     android:layout_height="64dip"
     android:orientation="vertical"
     >
</RelativeLayout>

View view1 = inflater.inflate(R.layout.tab_in, null);;
        View view2 = inflater.inflate(R.layout.tab_in, null);;
        View view3 = inflater.inflate(R.layout.tab_in, null);;

        view1 .setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.record_upload_button_stateful);
        view2 .setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.record_download_button_stateful);
        view3 .setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.record_receive_button_stateful);
tabHost.addTab(tabHost
                .newTabSpec("view1")
                .setIndicator(view1)              
          );
        tabHost.addTab(tabHost
                .newTabSpec("view2")
                .setIndicator(view2)
        );

        tabHost.addTab(tabHost
                .newTabSpec("view3")
                .setIndicator(view3)
             );
