Here’s the skivvy on the review. Since, I made the commitment to read this Droid book, I’m going to provide review notes for each hour of the book immediately after I complete that section of the book. In theory you’ll see 24 separate posts over the next few days containing my personal notes on my experience with the book.

Hour 9 Part B Review Notes

Took a forced break (issues at work side tracked all my home and family time as well as learning time) and now I have finally caught up and able to do a couple things I would like to do on the weekend.

This hour focuses on the TabHost control including the layout and population of controls on each tabs.

There was some wire up type code for each of the tabs that was a bit confusing but manageable.  Surprised that the default tab had to be *configured*.

In most of my web applications XML objects are among some of the lightest weight options for loading date, while database objects are weightier.  In Android programming a 10k XML doc creates some screen flicker! 

This completes Hour 9’s review notes!!
