I followed Google's supplied tutorial for creating a tabbar app, and asked one of the Android devs who works with me to come take a look at the finished result.
"Oh", he said, "that's deprecated now. We don't do tab bars like that any more. We use fragments instead". And sure enough, when I looked closely, Eclipse was telling me what I'd done was, in fact, deprecated and Google recommended a different approach.
Except I'd followed their main tutorial for Android, step by step. Compare this with Apple, who have consistently updated their documentation for each API release. How Google could possibly think it's a good idea to deprecate a major platform feature for fragments (a good thing) and not update one of the most popular tutorials on their site to reflect this (the 'Hello Views' tutorial) is beyond me.
