I have an activity which has a TabHost containing a set of TabSpecs each with a listview containing the items to be displayed by the tab. When each TabSpec is created, I set
Just to confirm dominics answer, here's his solution in code (that actually works):
tabHost.setOnTabChangedListener(new OnTabChangeListener() {
public void onTabChanged(String tabId) {
if (TAB_MAP.equals(tabId)) {
ImageView iv = (ImageView) tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(0).findViewById(android.R.id.icon);
iv.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.tab_map_black));
iv = (ImageView) tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(1).findViewById(android.R.id.icon);
iv.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.tab_list_white));
} else if (TAB_LIST.equals(tabId)) {
ImageView iv = (ImageView) tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(0).findViewById(android.R.id.icon);
iv.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.tab_map_white));
iv = (ImageView) tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(1).findViewById(android.R.id.icon);
iv.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.tab_list_black));
}
}
});
Of course it's not polished at all and using those direct indices in getChildAt() is not nice at all...
