How can I allow horizontal tab navigation (swipe views) if I'm using action bar navigation tabs ? Is there anything special I have to do to get this to work with ActionBarSherlock ?

Is it possible to change the Image of a MenuItem when pressed and can that be done by a selector (different MenuItems should be changed with a different image when pressed or selected). Some sample code would be nice. I looked up a lot of solutions but not many of them made a clear explanation. Cheers ! Is it possible to change the Image of a MenuItem when pressed and can that be done by a selector Yep, absolutely. Here's an example: Add a selector to your drawable folder. <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <!-- Pressed state --> <item android:drawable="
