Android Tutorial 'HelloTabWidget'

I think I've added the code exactly as it says on the android tab layout tutorial and corrected any problems. The app seems to compile ok but when I run it on the emulator it says 'The application * has stopped unexpectedly please try again'. Here are my files please let me know if you see any problem with the code.

there are 4 separate activity files.

package com.example.HelloTabWidget;


import android.app.TabActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.res.Resources;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.*;

public class AlbumsActivity extends TabActivity {
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    Resou开发者_JAVA百科rces res = getResources(); // Resource object to get Drawables
    TabHost tabHost = getTabHost();  // The activity TabHost
    TabHost.TabSpec spec;  // Resusable TabSpec for each tab
    Intent intent;  // Reusable Intent for each tab

    // Create an Intent to launch an Activity for the tab (to be reused)
    intent = new Intent().setClass(this, ArtistsActivity.class);

    // Initialize a TabSpec for each tab and add it to the TabHost
    spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("artists").setIndicator("Artists",
                      res.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_tab_artists))
                  .setContent(intent);
    tabHost.addTab(spec);

    // Do the same for the other tabs
    intent = new Intent().setClass(this, AlbumsActivity.class);
    spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("albums").setIndicator("Albums",
                      res.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_tab_artists_grey))

This is the artists xml file in res/drawable (the images are present in res/drawable as well)

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!-- When selected, use grey -->
<item android:drawable="@drawable/ic_tab_artists_grey"
      android:state_selected="true" />
<!-- When not selected, use white-->
<item android:drawable="@drawable/ic_tab_artists_white" />
</selector>

This is the main.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>

this is the android manifest file

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.HelloTabWidget" android:versionCode="1"

I have spend ages going over this looking for typos and found nothing, I've also spent ages looking on forums and nothing seems to adequately address why this doesn't work - I am new to this though so could be mistaken and maybe dont understand the answers but i dont think thats it.

At the moment all your Activity.java classes look exactly the same as the HelloTabWidget.java which they probably shouldn't

Try:

HelloTabWidget.java

package com.example.HelloTabWidget;

import android.app.TabActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.res.Resources;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TabHost;

public class HelloTabWidget extends TabActivity {
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    Resources res = getResources(); 
    TabHost tabHost = getTabHost();  

    tabHost.addTab(tabHost.newTabSpec("artists").setIndicator("Artists",res.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_tab_artists)).setContent(new Intent(this, ArtistsActivity.class)));
    tabHost.addTab(tabHost.newTabSpec("albums").setIndicator("Albums",res.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_tab_artists)).setContent(new Intent(this, AlbumsActivity.class)));
    tabHost.addTab(tabHost.newTabSpec("songs").setIndicator("Songs",res.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_tab_artists)).setContent(new Intent(this, SongsActivity.class)));

    tabHost.setCurrentTab(2);
    }
}

ArtistsActivity.java

package com.example.HelloTabWidget;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;


public class ArtistsActivity extends Activity {
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.artistslayout);

    // your code for this activity ... (not the same as HelloTabWidget.java)


    }
}

And the same for the other 2 Activity classes.
