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 like this

TabHost tabHost = getTabHost();
TextView tv = (TextView) tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(0).findViewById(android.R.id.title);
tv.setText("New Tab Text");

Where android.R.id.title is System generated, just change ChildIndex and Text according to your need
