Summary

A tabbed group of windows.

Description

The Tab Group allows you to manage a tabbed UI of one or more windows. Use the Titanium.UI.createTabGroup method to create a tab group.

A tab group can contain one or more Tab objects, each of which has an associated tab button and a stack of windows. The user can switch between tabs by tapping a tab button.

You can add tabs to the group using addTab, and switch active tabs by calling setActiveTab.

Platform Implementation Notes

When using a tab group, note the following differences between platforms:

On Android, tabs cannot be removed from the tab group once added, and the tabs cannot be reordered.

On iOS, tabs can be removed, and the user may (optionally) be allowed to reorder tabs.

On iOS and Mobile Web, it is also possible to add tabs by updating the tabs property, and to switch active tabs by setting the active property on one of the tabs to true. Since these mechanisms are platform-specific, it is recommended that you use addTab and setActiveTab instead.

If you use the iOS/Mobile Web-specific mechanisms, it is possible to add multiple active tabs to a tab group. In this case, the result of which tab is initially selected is undefined.
