Android Tab Bar

Maybe a stupid question but is the tab bar up top a requirement for all Titanium Apps?

The reason I ask, is that I want to create an app without the Tabs at top, and just have 3 buttons (top: 60) which call the different windows.

Thanks for your help!

    • Haha, that's what I was thinking. I was just saying that if he wanted to use an Image (And then an mouseover or whatever) he would have to use an ImageView instead of a button.

  • I don't quite understand what you are asking. I believe you can make the tabs go onto the bottom, but it seems like you are asking if you can just remove the tabs altogether and just have 3 buttons that call the different windows that the tabs should?

    E.x. - Instead of Tab1 calling Window1, you want to remove Tab1 and have Button1 call Window1.

  • Hi,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I want to have the menu / navigation not up the top or bottom of the app, but instead about 60-100px down from the top.

    To my understanding the tabs are fixed to the Top?

    And yes, your example is correct Button1 call Window1 (no use of tabs in the app)

    • If I understand correctly, couldn't you just get rid of the tabs altogether and just have an ImageView that links you to the pages, with a top of 60/100/whatever?
