Question

I came from objective-c and I am an Android newbie. I am using following method that intends to change tabColor for index 0. But I would like to change default grey tab when selected. Thank you.

mTabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(0).setBackgroundColor(Color.CYAN);

Answer 1

Use setOnTabChangedListener(TabHost.OnTabChangeListener l) on the TabHost:

myTabHost.setOnTabChangedListener(new TabHost.OnTabChangeListener(){
  @Override
  public void onTabChanged(String tabId) {
    int tab = myTabHost.getCurrentTab();
    myTabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(tab).setBackgroundColor(Color.CYAN);
  }
});

Maybe there is a simpler way, i dont have use it before 😉
