How to change android tab text on the fly?

Question

This seems like it should be simple, but I can\'t figure out a way to do it. I\'m needing a tab to have beginning text, but then have that text change after the user selects

Answer 1

You can do it without knowing the magic index of the TextView by using findViewById:

TabWidget vTabs = getTabWidget();
View indicatorView = vTabs.getChildAt(tabIndex);
((TextView) indicatorView.findViewById(android.R.id.title)).setText("NewTabText");
