    Currently on android, there is no support for closing a tabgroup, so usually you would open it at the start of your app, as the root of all windows. Thus, probably the best workaround for you would be to listen to the focus event on the first window loaded by the tabgroup. If you add the windows after you open the tabgroup, then this should fire the events in the right sequence.

    • I don't want to close the tabgroup just want to have the open event triggered. A several days ago i created a ticket about this problem.

    • Jacob, I have simply suggested a workaround in the meantime, just in case it's useful. :)

  • an open on the tabGroup will fire when the group is open, which will in most cases only happen once when the app is launched.

    Is what you are looking for when a specific tab is opened? Then you can capture the "blur" event like this

    tabGroup.addEventListener('blur', function(e)
    {
    Titanium.API.info(" tab index: " +e.index );
    Titanium.API.info(" prev index: " + e.previousIndex);
    });
