Problem Understanding Tabbed Layout

Could someone help me understand the tabbed layout? I have set up a tabbed layout with 5 tabs. If you click on one of the tabs it will launch a menu. I have compiled this and I am trying to see this in run on the Android emulator. It compiles but I don't see my layout or app icon at all. Thanks Marc

Morning! Have you dragged the corresponding docs and images/icons into your eclipse project?

So can you at least tap where the tabbed icons should be? Are you saying the app icon does not show on home screen and none of the content you have added is showing up?

Hey gang, I have had this issue many times. You can click on the tab and it woks great but icons/images do not show up. It took many uninstalls and copy/paste the config data and then it works. It happens a lot to me so your not alone on this issue.

The icons are in the project. When I compile it and run it in the emulator I dont see the main launcher icon. Can someone tell me if the icon was there and I clicked on it, it would launch a screen with my 5 tabs?

Is the app icon maybe on another screen other than home? Does logcat show a successful build to device?

Update on this. I am getting the icon, When I click on the icon and it launches the application, should I be seeing the tabbed layout? Instead it shows me one of the menu options that you would select from the tabbed layout as the home screen. How do I set my home screen if I have selected tabbed layout? Thanks
