java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo

  • 0

I know this error appeared on forum million of times, but please help me find what I missed. I’m trying to do simple tab orientated application,I don’t have much (except errors)

1) my main activity is based on tablayout tutorial what I found

public class MainTabPanel extends TabActivity {

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.mainlayout);
        Resources res = getResources();
        TabHost tabHost = getTabHost();
        TabHost.TabSpec spec;
        Intent intent;
        intent = new Intent().setClass(this, MyBookActivity.class);
        spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("main")
                .setIndicator("Main", res.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_mybook))
                .setContent(intent);
        tabHost.addTab(spec);
        tabHost.setCurrentTab(0);
    }

}

2) mainlayout.xml

<?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"        
   android:padding="5dp">
 <TabWidget 
  android:id="@android:id/tabs" 
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content" />        

  <FrameLayout      
  android:id="@android:id/tabcontent" 
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"   
  android:layout_height="fill_parent"
  android:padding="5dp" />   
 </LinearLayout></TabHost>

3) my second activity is basically almost empty, it;s just display current date and time, worked before I tried to add tab panel

4) my manifest file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="org.th.mybook"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />
    <application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <activity
            android:name=".MainTabPanel"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <activity
            android:name="MyBookActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.ALTERNATIVE" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>
</manifest>
