Changing Text of each TAB in Tabhost

Question

Here's what my TABS look like at the moment:

How would I change the text of the TextView I am using to display the text, for each individual TAB?

As you can see, the text of each TAB is the same. I have tried using methods of changing the text for each individual one, but nothing seems to work.

Any guidance would be much appreciated.

XML using to display the TextView:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/tabsLayout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/Tab_Text"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="TextView" />

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/tab_icon"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

Class:

public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {

/* Tab identifiers */

Answer 1

TextViewTAB.setText(tabText); //Added to your code

In this method set the text for the individual tabs

private View createTabView(final String tabText, final int id) {
View view = LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.tabs_icon, null);

//Tab image

ImageView imageViewTabIcon = (ImageView) view
        .findViewById(R.id.tab_icon);
imageViewTabIcon.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(id));

//Tab text

TextView TextViewTAB = (TextView)view. findViewById(R.id.Tab_Text);  //Added to your code

TextViewTAB.setText(tabText);   //Added to your code

return view;
}

tabText which already passed as a paramenter in method
