This is a wacky experiment to hash out what's necessary to create some views.
I had some specific needs, a TabHost within a ViewStub, which contained ViewStubs, when inflated became ViewPagers. I also didn't want to use fragments for this, so this is all done with normal views, and it should be a fairly lightweight strategy. I populated it with a bunch of images, so those will chew up quite a bit of heap space, but the app should launch quickly, and be generally responsive.
There are no dependencies, and no permissions used for this. Here's a walk-through of some of this code.
