Android use FragmentActivity instead of TabActivity

Question

I want to change TabActivity to FragmentActivity because TabActivity is deprecated.

My code is

public class Fragment_Activity extends TabActivity implements TabHost.OnTabChangeListener {

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    TabHost tabHost;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.fragment_tabs);

        // Get TabHost Refference
        tabHost = getTabHost();

        // Set TabChangeListener called when tab changed
        tabHost.setOnTabChangedListener(this);

        TabHost.TabSpec spec;
        Intent intent;

        /************* TAB1 ************/
        // Create  Intents to launch an Activity for the tab (to be reused)
        intent = new Intent().setClass(this, OccasionFragment.class);
        spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("First").setIndicator("")
                .setContent(intent);

        //Add intent to tab
        tabHost.addTab(spec);

        /************* TAB2 ************/
        intent = new Intent().setClass(this, InvitationFragment.class);
        spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("Second").setIndicator("")
                .setContent(intent);
        tabHost.addTab(spec);

        /************* TAB3 ************/
        intent = new Intent().setClass(this, FriendsFragment.class);
        spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("Third").setIndicator("")
                .setContent(intent);
        tabHost.addTab(spec);

        // Set drawable images to tab
        tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(1).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.ic_action_event);
        tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(2).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.ic_action_phone);

        // Set Tab1 as Default tab and change image
        tabHost.getTabWidget().setCurrentTab(0);
        tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(0).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.ic_action_person);


    }

    @Override
    public void onTabChanged(String tabId) {

        /************ Called when tab changed *************/

        //********* Check current selected tab and change according images *******/

        for(int i=0;i<tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildCount();i++)
        {
            if(i==0)
                tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(i).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.ic_action_event);
            else if(i==1)
                tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(i).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.ic_action_phone);
            else if(i==2)
                tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(i).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.ic_action_person);
        }


        if(tabHost.getCurrentTab()==0)
            tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(tabHost.getCurrentTab()).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.ic_action_event);
        else if(tabHost.getCurrentTab()==1)
            tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(tabHost.getCurrentTab()).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.ic_action_phone);
        else if(tabHost.getCurrentTab()==2)
            tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(tabHost.getCurrentTab()).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.ic_action_person);

    }`

Answer 1

Replace

 tabHost = getTabHost();

with

tabHost = (TabHost)findViewById(android.R.id.tabhost);
tabHost.setup();

This will work with FragmentActivity, assuming all other things are correct.
