  • what have you tried ?https://www.google.co.in/search?q=custom+tab+bar+in+android&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a – Samir Mangroliya Apr 24 '12 at 15:09
  • Do not put a tab bar at the bottom. See "Don't use bottom tab bars" in the Android Design guidelines: http://developer.android.com/design/patterns/pure-android.html – CommonsWare Apr 24 '12 at 15:30
  • This example on github really helped me out when I was trying to learn how to create a custom tab bar. https://github.com/AdilSoomro/Iphone-Tab-in-Android – Salil Malkan Apr 24 '12 at 16:06
  • @CommonsWare I know the guidelines say so, but in my opinion it depends on the app. If you got an action bar and something underneath that, it'd be awkward to have the tab bar on top. There are many existing Android apps with the tab bar in the bottom - so if the reason is to prevent confusion, I doubt users will be confused... I'm not gonna follow guidelines for the sake of following guidelines. If the guidelines told you to use Comic sans, would you use it? – Henley May 04 '12 at 02:27
