Splitting the Tab

icon.setImageResource(R.drawable.ball_yellow);

}

else {

icon.setImageResource(R.drawable.ball_green);

}

Here are some things you can try beyond those step-by-step instructions:

• Add a date in the restaurant model to note the last time you visited

the restaurant, then use either DatePicker or DatePickerDialog to

allow users to set the date when they create their restaurant objects.

• Try making a version of the activity that uses a ViewFlipper and a

Button to flip from the list to the detail form, rather than using two

tabs.

The use of tabs in an Android activity is covered in the "Employing Fancy

Widgets" chapter of The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development.
