Answer 2

Solution of your problem is already given in http://developer.android.com/

To disableAction-bar Icon and Title, you must do two things:

 setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false);  // hides action bar icon
 setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false); // hides action bar title

Follow The Steps given in Using split action bar

Write Following Code in OnCreate()

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.navigation_drawer);

        getActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false);  // hides action bar icon
        getActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false); // hides action bar title
        //rest of your code...
}

After Android updated Actionbar to Toolbar there are many changes in Actionbar Tabs.

Answer 3

You can:

• Use a ViewPager with a PagerTabStrip

• Use a ViewPager with the TabPageIndicator class from the ViewPagerIndicator library

• Use a ViewPager with other third-party tab indicators (e.g., in the "View Pagers" category at the Android Arsenal)

• Use a ViewPager and design your own tabbed indicator

• Use a FragmentTabHost and skip the swiping part
