Question

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item
        android:state_pressed="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/tab_profile_pressed_mdpi" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/tab_profile_unselected_mdpi" />
</selector>

And how I set them:

((ImageView)tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildTabViewAt(i).findViewById(R.id.single_tab_img)).setImageResource(unselected_img[i]);

Answer 1

You need to use setBackgroundResource not setImageResource. State drawables work on the background image, not the foreground image.
