No Tabs

While setting up the Ribbits application, I used Tabbed Activity, although my screen showed it on the same page as the Blank Activity, For the Navigation Style, I selected Swipe Views (View Pager).

Now that I am at the place where we are working the tabs, I see no tabs in the emulator.

How do I fix this?

You're welcome, not necessarily, you can re do only that activity, but if you re do the activity you have to set in your AndroidManifest as Main the new Activity: add this in the Activity declaration:

            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>

also if you already modified the menu layout , in the onCreateOptionsMenu of the new Activity change the first parameter of the method inflate() to match the old menu name

Thank you Leonardo!

Does this mean that I need to redo the project and set it up with that style?

Please forgive me as I am trying to learn Android.

Thank you Leonardo!

That is too much for me to handle. I'll just restart the project from scratch.

Maybe I'll get this project done by Friday!

One more thing , the InboxFragment error that you get, maybe it's caused because the lack of tabs, so if you re do the project, that error ,should not appear

Good Luck!
