Updating Android Tab Icons

Question

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

Answer 1

This is what I did and it works for me. I created this function in the activity that extends from TabBarActivity

public void updateTab(int stringID) {
    ViewGroup identifyView = (ViewGroup)getTabWidget().getChildAt(0);
    TextView v =  (TextView)identifyView.getChildAt(identifyView.getChildCount() - 1);
    v.setText(stringID);
}

You can modify this function to change the image instead of text or you can change both, also you can modify this to get any tab child. I was particularly interested in modifying the text of the first tab at runtime.

I called this function from the relevant activity using this call

getParent().updateTab(R.string.tab_bar_analyze);
