"Deprecated" in Android means "we think there is a better solution that you should explore." Rarely "obsolete" means "it is unsuitable." TabHost
, TabHost
, works great on Android 4.0.
In doing so, I would recommend considering switching to tabs in the action bar using ActionBarSherlock to ensure backward compatibility with Android 2.1.
UPDATE
In addition, TabHost
not out of date. TabActivity
deprecated. You can still use TabHost
, with views for your tabs. Or use:
ViewPager
with tabbed indicator, e.g. PagerTabStrip
FragmentTabHost
, for a TabHost
that uses tab snippets
The action bar also has tab support, but this has been deprecated since the āLā Developer Preview.
