Question

I went through the Android Developers class for Fragments, and I really like their explanation and implementation. However, rather than having a list on the left-hand side of the screen that displays content on the right-hand fragment when interacted with, I’d like to show a selection of tabs at the top of the screen.

Is there any sort of equivalent to the ListFragment class for tabs, or a way I can use the Android Developer implementation but to create a group of tabs in the ViewGroup?

Thanks!

Not really, as tabs are not usually implemented as a fragment.

Not really, as tabs are not usually implemented as a fragment.

For tabs, you can:

• use the action bar, or
• use PagerTabStrip with a ViewPager, or
• use the tab flavor of ViewPagerIndicator with a ViewPager, or
• go retro and use TabHost and TabWidget, or
• roll something yourself
