Basically this is the problem I have with orientation concerning sherlocktabs.
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_leavetab);
ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
// Hide Actionbar Title
actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
View homeIcon = findViewById(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB ? android.R.id.home
: R.id.abs__home);
((View) homeIcon.getParent()).setVisibility(View.GONE);
// Create Actionbar Tabs
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
// Set Tab Icon and Titles
Tab1 = actionBar.newTab().setText("New Leave");
Tab2 = actionBar.newTab().setText("My Leaves");
// Set Tab Listeners
Tab1.setTabListener(new TabListener(leaveform));
Tab2.setTabListener(new TabListener(leave));
// Add tabs to actionbar
actionBar.addTab(Tab2);
actionBar.addTab(Tab1);
// actionBar.addTab(Tab3);
}
@Override
protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
outState.putInt("tabState", ActionBar.getSelectedTab());
}
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
com.actionbarsherlock.view.MenuInflater inflater = getSupportMenuInflater();
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
getSupportActionBar().setBackgroundDrawable(
new ColorDrawable(Color.parseColor("#FF8512")));
getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
inflater.inflate(R.menu.leave, menu);
MenuItem menu1 = menu.findItem(R.id.reload_list);
menu1.setTitle(name);
return true;
}
The above fragment activity creates three two tabs - listfragment and a fragment. When I change the orientation of screen to landscape I get a fatal exception like below
FATAL EXCEPTION: main java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can not perform this action after onSaveInstanceState at android.support.v4.app.FragmentManagerImpl.checkStateLoss(FragmentManager.java:1343) at android.support.v4.app.FragmentManagerImpl.enqueueAction(FragmentManager.java:1361) at android.support.v4.app.BackStackRecord.commitInternal(BackStackRecord.java:595) at android.support.v4.app.BackStackRecord.commit(BackStackRecord.java:574) at com.actionbarsherlock.internal.app.ActionBarImpl.selectTab(ActionBarImpl.java:536) at com.actionbarsherlock.internal.app.ActionBarImpl$TabImpl.select(ActionBarImpl.java:912) at com.actionbarsherlock.internal.widget.ScrollingTabContainerView$TabClickListener.onClick(ScrollingTabContainerView.java:504) at android.view.View.performClick(View.java:2485) at android.view.View$PerformClick.run(View.java:9080) at android.os.Handler.handleCallback(Handler.java:587) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:92) at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:130) at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:3687) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:507) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:867) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:625) at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method)
This works just fine in devices with api >11 but crashes in devices with api <11. I am quite new to fragments and thereby wondering about what the problem might be. Is is something concerning the saved state of activity?
