How To Use Custom IPhone Tab In FragmentActivity?

I am new in Android and I tried to create a tab using FragmentActivity from codes that I found online. http://thepseudocoder.wordpress.com/2011/10/04/android-tabs-the-fragment-way

Solution 1:

Solved it! Finally! After testing other resources that I referred to, I realized that layout_alignParentBottom in RelativeLayout does not give any outcome. Hence I tried aligning the TabWidget to the bottom instead, and it worked!

This is my main.xml that contain TabHost and TabWidget. http://pastie.org/pastes/5188297/text?key=lqfp3jnofs5kgsvslm3yg

Keep the tab_indicator.xml / the settings for the text and image like this : http://pastie.org/pastes/5187408/text?key=qxxa5xxrhsburebllyhmw

And here is the a custom iPhone tab that uses FragmentActivity :

P/S : Sorry if my Java file is confusing, I'm new and if there is anything I did wrong, do tell me.
