Question

I have created four tabs but want each tab to be a different block color – should this be done in the xml or java file? I’m assuming java because I only have one xml file for the whole tab widget.

Answer 1

try to customise the individual tabs
try using something like

TabWidget tabWidget = getTabWidget();
for(int i = 0; i < tabWidget.getChildCount(); i++) {
RelativeLayout tabLayout = (RelativeLayout) tabWidget.getChildAt(i);
tabLayout.setBackgroundDrawable(someimage);
}
