I am making a blogging application using flutter. I want to create a tab bar with each tab showing different content. The number of tabs is determined by the number of different categories obtained through an API. Also the content of each tab is obtained through api.
It is silimilar to what we see in Google news application.
How to ceate such tab view? Also I want to make sure that apis for fetching the content of each tab are called only once.
You can use persistent tabbar solutions.
Cupertino tabbar provides a solution. Also you can use these packages

I am adding tabs to my page in fb. The problem is my customers do not notice that they need to click on the arrow icon to see all the tabs. Is there a way or setting that allows me to show all tabs on my page?
No, there is no way. Reorder your tabs so that the ones you really want your customer to see are displayed first. Another thing you can do is modify your cover photo in a way that indicates to your customers that there are cool tabs there. Facebook discourages using the cover photo for advertisements, so try to keep it classy.
I have a iPhone app which uses TabBar in Navigation controller. I have a requirement like give a option to user to customize the tab order from settings panel from my app.
Save and reloading of tabs is done perfectly.Can we invoke default tab manager from code.
Please advice on how can we use default tabs manager to display from App setting screen.
Thanks
it is not possible to invoke default Tab bar edit screen. Instead we should create our own View-Controller to do the same work for us.
How can I change the FBML tabs Icon from the default one to a custom one, please?
It does have an icon with the new layout and it looks terrible.
Found this video about changing your own app's icon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIcG5VekxM0
But that doesn't apply to the FBML tab (since it is not my app).
As far as I know, FBML tabs doesn't have an icon, just text.
Maybe do you want to change your facebook app icon that appears on the user's app menu on the sidebar?
If it's this, you can change it on the app settings, there are two images to upload: one will appear on the permissions dialog and the other is the 16x16px that I've mentioned before.
I don't exactly have an answer but because my question is exactly the same as yours, I thought I'd add on here. But do tell me if I shouldn't be doing this and I'll remove it immediately.
I see ChickFilA uses customised icons for their tabs. Wonder if they developed their own app(s) thus the ability to customise the icon(s), or if there really is a way to customise FBML icons.
There's no icon for FBML tabs. But there's an icon for an application based Facebook tab. Here's how.
Create a Facebook app that can be integrated as a tab (Choose Page Tab Type as FBML)
E.g. Chick Fila created Spicy Biscuit app http://www.facebook.com/#!/ChickfilA?sk=app_119130604778515 that actually was later rendered as a Facebook tab (named Spicy Biscuit)
When you create an app, you can add an icon.
Submit your app to the Facebook app directory (Your application must have at least 5 total users or 10 monthly active users before you can submit it)
Now, go to the application page. E.g. Chick-fila Spicy Buscuit http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=167096109994873
Click Add to my page. Add it to the page you want to the tab embedded.
Done.
I'm creating a facebook tab application. It's added as a tab on a fan page. I want to change the tab name. I know how to set the tab name statically. I want to set it dynamically by any code like Static FBML.
Thanks.
fbml is deprecated
the tab label can be changed Page > Apps > scroll to the app > Edit Settings
