TabHost repeating tab content

[Marc West]

Hi,

I am trying to create a TabHost gui and I am experience a weird issue where every tab after the 1st (i tried adding more tabs) contains the content of the last tab that is added.

<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:id="@+id/mainLayout" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" android:padding="5dp"> <FrameLayout android:id="@android:id/tabcontent" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:padding="5dp" android:layout_weight="1"> </FrameLayout> <TabWidget android:id="@android:id/tabs" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="0"> </TabWidget> </LinearLayout> </TabHost>

[...]
intent.setClass(this, EventsActivity.class);
spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("events").setIndicator(null, res.getDrawable(R.drawable.events)).setContent(intent);
tabHost.addTab(spec);

intent.setClass(this, HistoryActivity.class);
spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("history").setIndicator(null, res.getDrawable(R.drawable.history)).setContent(intent);
tabHost.addTab(spec);
	
intent.setClass(this, TravelActivity.class);
spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("travel").setIndicator(null, res.getDrawable(R.drawable.travel)).setContent(intent);
tabHost.addTab(spec);

tabHost.setCurrentTab(0);

Below are the xml of the tabs, but essentially it is text, button, text. I am seeing text, button, button when I run the app. Would appreciate suggestions.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" > <TextView android:text="events" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> </TextView> </LinearLayout>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" > <Button android:text="button" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> </Button> </LinearLayout>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" > <TextView android:text="@string/cinemaAddress" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> </TextView> </LinearLayout>

For anyone who has the same issue: the problem was reusing Intent. I don't know why. But using a new one for each tab sorted this problem.
