How can i do this? Is it possible?

Answer 1

I think you could use TabHost.TabSpec.setIndicator (view android.view.View) , passing TextViewcustomized (colored) according to your needs.

However, I am re-reading your post again - perhaps you mean how to change the color of the contents of the tab, while I am talking about the tab tab ... If so, sorry, please ignore this answer.

UPDATE

The most convenient way to do this in your xml layout is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TabHost xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@android:id/tabhost"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    <LinearLayout
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent">
        <TabWidget
            android:id="@android:id/tabs"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
        <FrameLayout
            android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent">
            <TextView 
                android:id="@+id/textview1"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
                android:text="this is a tab - RED"
                android:textColor="#FF0000" />
            <TextView 
                android:id="@+id/textview2"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
                android:text="this is another tab - GREEN"
                android:textColor="#00FF00" />
            <TextView 
                android:id="@+id/textview3"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
                android:text="this is a third tab - BLUE"
                android:textColor="#0000FF" />
        </FrameLayout>
    </LinearLayout>
</TabHost>

ColorStateLists. .

Answer 3

To change the color of the tab text, you need to get the ie TextView, which is set as the tab title, and you can change it as follows:

TabHost tabhost = getTabHost();
for(int i=0;i<tabhost.getTabWidget().getChildCount();i++) 
{
    TextView tv = (TextView) tabhost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(i).findViewById(android.R.id.title);
    tv.setTextColor(.....);
} 

hope this helps ....
