Swipe using tab host is not recommended. Use view pager adapter. http://codetheory.in/android-swipe-views-with-tabs/ — Madhukar Hebbar, Nov 02 '15 at 06:00

@Tijo John :

Bad Approach

Using Deprecated Code TabActivity.

This class was deprecated in API level 13. New applications should use Fragments instead of this class; to continue to run on older devices, you can use the v4 support library which provides a version of the Fragment API

Best Way

Use ViewPager or FragmentTabHost

ViewPager is most often used in conjunction with Fragment, which is a convenient way to supply and manage the lifecycle of each page. There are standard adapters implemented for using fragments with the ViewPager, which cover the most common use cases.
