In an application, I’m using Tabs with the ActionBar, and sometimes I switch tabs programatically using the ActionBar.selectTab() method.
This works well but when the width of the ActionBar is too small, the tabs go in compact mode, and are displayed as a drop down menu. And when I use the ActionBar.selectTab() method, the displayed item in the spinner doesn’t change.
Is there an official solution for this or a known workaround ?
This problem has been asked on ActionBarSherlock github. It seems that this problem also exists on the ICS ActionBar.
It can be avoided with ABS by changing the source as stated in the link. For the native ActionBar, I managed to make a workaround using reflection to access the action bar’s dropdown spinner.
