Hi,

I am new to Android. Could anyone provide me some code to add tabs to a activity and then add items to the tabs using java. No XML Please.

Kind Regards.

Tabs -which take up permanent precious screen real estate- are not much used on phones. Would using a menu work?

I am new to Android and just wish to consider to learn about UI components. You could do me a favor by given an example of both tabs and menus.

Kind Regards.

Android's built-in menu facility is explained on the page I linked to.

There is a TabActivity and TabWidget that you can use. Refer this tutorial on official site for starters.

Android SDK comes with APIDemos package(java code + apk) and bundled with it are some very basic examples that demonstrate different UI components, patterns etc. Make sure you take a look.
