Greeting, I have 5 tab menus use on my android app. Home page- custom URL screen, menu button screen, menu list screen, and the other two is also custom URL screens. My idea is to load the home page which is the custom URL screen as my initial loading page. But buzztouch always loads the menu list screen as first attempt. If I removed the menu list screen from the tab menu, it then loads the menu button screen. How can I set this right? Appreciated for any input. Platform: Self host

So, the '3rd' screen is the screen that appears when the app starts? Cheers! -- Smug (I haven't experimented with Android yet, but I 'think' you can set (or find out) selected tabs using: setSelectedTab(int); int = getSelectedTab; these are found in your BT_application.java file. The 'theory' is that the first screen is the home screen.

@ SmugWimp, actually my home screen became the "last" screen when the app starts. That's good direction to start with.

I'm not sure if it matters, but if you look at your raw JSON config under the 'tabs' it should reflect the load order (and again, in theory that is tab 1~5 ascending). It may or may not contribute to understanding what's going on here... it does sound a bit odd. Cheers! -- Smug

@ Smug, You're exactly right, in theory that's what I thought. In "Tabbed Layout", I named home and set to first tab menu to load. In theory it shouldn't be any issues. This is exactly what I did for iOS app. But when I tested on device or even on emulator. The initial loading page always be menu button or menu list screen. Very weird.

Is the tab order in the JSON file the way you've set it up in the Control Panel? I wonder if it 'has' to be a menu, although I've not seen anything in the documentation, nor have I noticed anything that filters the code. Of course I haven't been looking for *that* yet, so I can't be sure... Cheers! -- Smug Edit: Snooping around a bit more, I see nothing in the code (BT_activity.java - line 256) that filters the tabs by type or anything... quite puzzling.

Have a look at BT_activity_root_tabs.java in the existing Android project. This handles the layout for each tab. Scroll down (or search for) tabHost.setCurrentTab(0);, it's on about line 300. Change the zero to the selected tab you want to show as the default and I'll bet it does exactly what you want. Grinding away on Android 4.0 Action Bar support for newest Android project. Looking forward to NOT having the tabHost tabSpec stuff you see in your download now. That approach has been deprecated and everything is moving towards the Action Bar :-)

@David, YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! @ Smug, really appreciated your time, THANK YOU!!!
