I just started developing on Android. I’m practicing with a Tablayout tutorial in API 15 when I see TabActivities are deprecated.
Would I be better off just forgetting about Fragments for now and keep developing with TabActivities?
IMHO, no.
Get yourself a copy of ActionBarSherlock and implement tabs in the action bar. That is the tab pattern going forward with Honeycomb and Ice Cream Sandwich, and ActionBarSherlock lets you use the same approach for Android 2.x devices as well. You are better served aiming for the future, not the past.
Note that you do not have to use fragments with action bar tabs, though you can.
