Apps ActionBar Tabs

[Stigy]

Hello All!

I currently have an application using TabActivity and TabHost which are now depreciated according to the Android Developer blog.

Has anyone done any coding with Tabs in Android 3.0+ that could help me out with moving my old code to be compliant with the Action Bar and Android 3.0 and higher? Maybe a good tutorial or someone that has worked with this before -- maybe even an alternate solution for the navigation of the app.

You can see a screenshot of the application below.

This is one case where you may want to ignore the deprecation -- at least for now.

The Support Package (aka compatibility Library) doesnt support the ActionBar, and even Google's own ActionBarCompat (their first alpha of supporting a backwards compatible ActionBar) doesnt support tabs.

However, you might want to look at ActionBarSherlock - Home

Oh, and alternative navigation to a TabHost is a ViewPager (which is supported by the Compatibility Library)

Hmmm might use the ViewPager then.

Just need to learn about Fragments it seems. Guess I got some reading to do.
