seems that starting Lollipop the ActionBar "setNavigationMode" method is deprecated. i know that google now offers to use sliding tabs and view pager however I am unable to understand the code completely. is there any alternative that I can use? if there isnt then can someone suggest for a good tutorial on that?
I need to achieve two tabs when each one holds a fragment.
I plan on using the SlidingTabsLayout technique instead of the new ActionBarCompat or Toolbar. It seems you don’t like it when reading from your original post. However there is sample working code at SlidingTabsBasic.
If you download the zip file, you may have to import the project instead of opening it. When you import, find the build.gradle file of the project. So far it seems this is not much difference than the link you posted at Github https://gist.github.com/eluleci/199be9a0d1af42653b5b.
I predict when the new Toolbar is stable, I can integrate some of this code like the ViewPager and PageAdapter.
