I i've a layout with 4 tabs at bottom a menu bar at the top and the all content it's to display in the center of the screen, and the tabs and menu bar is visible in all screens. In some screens I want to have some buttons to open another page (different of the tabs content) but in the center of the screen as the others.
I tried to implement that with tabhost (4 tabs), one activity per tab, but then I was in random tab and i've per example a button to show me another activity i want it to show in the center of the ecran without losing the menu bar and tab bar.
So, the best way to do this is with tabHost and a activity per tab like I did and try to find a solution for this, or just implement this using fragments?
Thanks
Instead of using the activity for each tab, use fragment for each tabhost.

I currently have a bottom navigation with 3 items for my 3 activities. I have a separate button on one of the screens that opens a new activity. When this happens, I'd like to program it so none of the 3 options of the bottom navigation view are selected.
bottomNavigationView.setSelectedItemId(R.id.______)
This is the line I use to select which icon I'd like to be shown as currently clicked. If I leave this line out of my activity, the first item of the bottom navigation view is selected by default.
I think that it will be better for you to use fragments for this task.
In my app I want to combine a tabView with a bottom navigation bar. I want to have three tabs and three options in the bottom bar, so there should be nine different activities in the end. My tabs and the bar are defined in my activity_main.xml, so for every selected option in the bottom bar the tabs remain the same. How can I open a new fragment which depends on the combination of the selected tab and selected bottom bar option?
I suffered from a same problem before and here is my solution.
You will need 1 activity and 12 fragment not 9 to achieve it.
The main activity contains the bottom navigation bar, and inflate 3 fragment let's name them LeftFragment, MiddleFragment and RightFragment, this main activity should act only as an inflator for this fragments, don't write any other code in the activity just a manager for the bottom navigation bar.
Each one of this fragments should act as a holder or a manger for the tabs fragments, agian don't write any code in LeftFragment, MiddleFragment and RightFragment just a manager for the tablayout.
And your actual layout code should be in each tab fragment.
Hope this answer your question.
In my application (only for my application), I want to add a button to the navigation system bar
How I can do that in my code?
You cannot do anything there. Not to mention some devices will not show this bar at all if they got hardware buttons.
You can't.
Maybe try to add a fragment that will be exactly above it.
Some phones don't even have that buttons on screen.
firstly check mobile or tab has soft buttons if has then make full screen by programaticaly after that create custum button bar like tab bar at bottom and put buttons as you like thats better if u dont have any other idea
getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION);
I have an app with a normal menu i.e. the common old menu that shows up at the bottom of the screen when the menu button is pressed. But it is a problem in some phones where there is no hard menu button.
I want to switch to slider menu with a menu icon on top. Is there an easy way to do this (I mean a way where code change would be minimum) retaining the existing functionality? Or will i have to go about coding the slider menu from scratch?
Any example code of a similar situation would really help.

Normally, that "menu" will appear as the overflow on devices with an action bar that either:
do not have a MENU button, or
run Android 4.4+
But it is a problem in some phones where there is no hard menu button.
Make sure that your app has an action bar.

The options menu/action-bar-with-overflow is unrelated to the "slider menu". They serve different roles. Please read the design guidelines for a navigation drawer (a.k.a., "slider menu").

No, because they are not related.
I am developing the Tab bar having two tabs in an activity. Problem here is unable to create the tab using the two images(for a single tab that is one left image and other is right image)in a tab bar. While clicking on the specific tab, only one image is focusing and the other is in a non responsive state. Is there any problem in android for creating the tabs using two images for a single tab? Please suggest me the answer with a sample code.
