Android Question StdActionBar, ask when has more than 3 tabs

[incendio]

Hi guys,

I am using StdActionBar (ver 1.5) with 6 tabs. On Nexus 7 in portrait mode, the tabs became a drop down list. On my 5" phone, it looks normal( tab not became drop down list) Tab using NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS (Both using Jellybean)

Also tried on 4" phone with ICS, still looks normal.

I have a few questions :
1) is this a normal behavior ?
2) On Nexus 7, when page was sliding, but drop down list was not synchronized,
Tried to use this code, but no avail

Sub VP_PageSelected (Position As Int)
    bar.SelectedIndex = vp.CurrentPage
End Sub

Tried change tab mode to NAVIGATION_MODE_LIST, but drop down list is not visible. Any solution to synchronized drop down and tabs.

Thanks in advance.

1) Yes.
2) It should be synchronized. Can you upload your project?

See this link about the different modes: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24439

I've tested your code with a phone. I've added 10 tabs and wasn't able to reproduce the sync issue.

Add the following log and check the output:

Sub VP_PageSelected (Position As Int)
   bar.SelectedIndex = vp.currentPage
   Log(bar.SelectedIndex & ", " & vp.CurrentPage)
End Sub

On the phone, tabs doesn't turn into drop down menu, so never had problem on it.

On Nexus 7 Wifi in portrait mode, tabs turn into drop down menu and doesn't synchronize when page was sliding.

Here is the output from Log(bar.SelectedIndex & ", " & vp.CurrentPage) when sliding page

1,1 -> slide from tab 0 to tab 1
2,2 -> slide from tab 1 to tab 2

Drop down menu / list never synchronize.

They will turn to drop down menu in landscape mode (when there are about 10 tabs).

The numbers are correct. It looks like a bug in the OS.

This is not good, I am planning to use only portrait mode in my app.

I don't mind tabs turn to drop down, as long as synchronized properly.

Guess I have to find another alternative for StdActionBar.
