This is the code that I’ve used to initialise the TabHost and it works fine:
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentTabHost;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
public class DetailFragment extends Fragment {
/**
* Mandatory empty constructor for the fragment manager to instantiate the fragment (e.g. upon screen orientation changes).
*/
public DetailFragment() {
}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// R.layout.fragment_tabs_pager contains the layout as specified in your question
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_tabs_pager, container, false);
// Initialise the tab-host
FragmentTabHost mTabHost = (FragmentTabHost) rootView.findViewById(R.id.tabhost);
mTabHost.setup(getActivity(), getChildFragmentManager(), R.id.realtabcontent);
// Initialise this list somewhere with the content that should be displayed
List<String> itemsToBeDisplayed;
for (String subItem : itemsToBeDisplayed) {
// Give along the name - you can use this to hand over an ID for example
Bundle b = new Bundle();
b.putString("TAB_ITEM_NAME", subItem);
// Add a tab to the tabHost
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec(subItem).setIndicator(subItem), YourContentFragment.class, b);
}
return rootView;
}
}
/**
* This class contains the actual content of a single tab
*/
public class YourContentFragment extends Fragment {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Bundle extras = getArguments();
if (extras != null) {
if (extras.containsKey("TAB_ITEM_NAME")) {
String subItem = extras.getString("TAB_ITEM_NAME");
// Do something with that string
}
}
}
}
