This thread has saved me so much time. I've got a decade of development experience, but prior to last month I'd never used Eclipse and my only experience with Java was from university. I knew literally nothing about how Android apps worked internally, other than that they were Java.

I spent days learning and messing around, and the best I could come up with was some terrible async HTTP library copied from Stack Exchange and an overly complicated pre-4.0 action bar from the android developer documentation. Not only did I have no idea what was going on under the hood, but it also took 10 lines of code for things I felt should only take 1 or 2.

After discovering actionbarsherlock and aquery in this thread, I no longer feel crushed under tons of arcane crap nobody should have to deal with in 2012.

So, the only remaining piece of the puzzle is push notifications. I assume Google Cloud Messaging is the way to go, right? If so, that seems pretty simple.

So, this is more of an Eclipse question, but it only seems to happen with my Android XML files, so hopefully it's not too out of place here.

When I open an xml file and then edit it, then open it again (indirectly, like from selecting an error), it is opened in a new tab instead of switching to the tab that already has the open file in it. That leads to having like 10 tabs of the same xml file open at the same time after a while.

Is there any way to get it to just switch to the tab that's already open?
