Android Question TabHost extra different color of current tab?

[welu1805]

Hi all,

is it possible to set a different color to the current tab so the user can better see which tab he selected?

setTabTextColorStateList (tabHost1 As TabHost, ColorStateListName As String)
Set a ColorStateList to be used for the text color of all tab indicators.
The ColorStateList must be defined in XML in your application Objects/res/drawable folder.
Color for selected and not selected tab state can be defined.

I do not want to set the TEXT color. I want to set the color of the tab.

I do not want to set the TEXT color. I want to set the color of the tab.

setTabGadientDrawable sets the backgroung on ALL TabIndicators. I would like another background for the current tab.

I found a solution by myself:

Sub Process_Globals
Dim anz As Int
End Sub

Sub Globals
Dim TabHost1 As TabHost
Dim TabHostExtras1 As TabHostExtras
Dim ColorDrawable1, ColorDrawable2 As ColorDrawable
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create
...
ColorDrawable1.Initialize(Colors.Blue, 10)
ColorDrawable2.Initialize(Colors.Red, 10)

anz = TabHostExtras1.GetTagWidget(TabHost1).TabCount
ColorTabs
End Sub

Sub ColorTabs
Dim i As Int
For i = 0 To anz - 1
Dim TabIndicator As Panel
TabIndicator = TabHostExtras1.GetTagWidget(TabHost1).GetChildTabViewAt(i)

If i = TabHost1.CurrentTab Then
TabIndicator.Background = ColorDrawable1
Else
TabIndicator.Background = ColorDrawable2
End If
Next
End Sub

Sub TabHost1_TabChanged
ColorTabs
...
End Sub

THANKS! You gave me the idea how to change Tabs height without having to migrate everything from TabHost to TabHostExtras I'm really grateful
