Question

I have a problem that sounds like this:
I have a TabHost and I want to change it’s size (height and width) so I used inflate to do this

TextView tabContent = (TextView)getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.tab_content,tab.getTabWidget(),false);

and my xml:

<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/tab_label"
android:layout_width="80dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:textSize="14sp"
android:background="@color/green"

/>

This is working, but the problem is:
How do I inherit the old style of the tab since this is canceling it.
I mean i want this to be on the grey background and if i click it, to take focus and be yellow and so on, like the default tabs?

Thanks

When you coose to customize your tabs, the standard tab behaviour is not accessible anymore.

Here is a very good example about customizing Tabs:
