Implementing a TabListener using the Support Library

Question

I am trying to implement Tab Navigation, but I want to make sure people that have older versions of Android can still use my application.

The app in mind ATM is fai

Answer 1

actionBar = getActionBar();
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);

actionBar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false);
actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);

tabA = actionBar.newTab().setText("");
tabB = actionBar.newTab().setText("");

Fragment fragmentA = new AFragmentTab();
Fragment fragmentB = new BFragmentTab();

tabA.setTabListener(new MyTabsListener(fragmentA));
tabB.setTabListener(new MyTabsListener(fragmentB));

actionBar.addTab(tabA);
actionBar.addTab(tabB);

The tab listener is as follows:

protected class MyTabsListener implements ActionBar.TabListener{
    private Fragment fragment;

    public MyTabsListener(Fragment fragment){
        this.fragment = fragment;
    }
    public void onTabSelected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft){
        ft.add(R.id.layout2, fragment, null);
    }
    public void onTabReselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
    }
    public void onTabUnselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
        ft.remove(fragment);
    }
}

and then you make a class for each tab:

public class BFragmentTab extends Fragment {

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        return inflater.inflate(R.layout.login, container, false);
    }
}

But keep in mind that the action bar isn't supported for android versions below 3.0 . If you want to use it in older versions I suggest you use actionBarSherlock Library.
