I am trying to make custom profile page , Tabbed layout is embed within ActionBar , and Tabs can change both with sliding and click on other tab.
I just started playing with ActionBar , and didn't understood what are major differences between Sherlock / simple ActionBar.
Here is what i am trying to make right now:
Any Help in any form appreciated , There is no similar Github lib or helper code at net/SO , so i can't figure out how i should get started
You will need to use a TabLayout along with a ViewPager. These are standard controls. Google it or see here for an example of how to use it. ActionBarSherlock isn't used anymore. Instead we use a Toolbar.

Im trying to implement a tabbed navigation where the tabs are located inside the Toolbar and the user can navigate via left/right swipes or tab clicks, just like the Hotel Tonight app:

Before this would be done using ActionBar.Tab, but that has been deprecated. All tutorials and SO questions i've found have only described how to use the new TabLayout to put tabs under the ToolBar, not inside it. How should I go about implementing this? What would the basic xml layout look like?
You can try using PagerSlidingTabStrip and here you are a tutorial:

I've just decided to add swipe views on my android application. I searched for them on the web for tutorials but I found nothing but deprecated actionBar tutorials. Event in official Creating Swipe View from android developer is showing me that this is deprecated method for this purpose. So tell me guys - what's the best way to make a swipe tab view?
I think you can use the templates included with ADT.
Just create new "Android Application Project" and select "tabbed activity" during wizard flow, and select "Navigation Style" = "swipe views" on the last wizard screen.
You can either develop your application on base of code you received, or study it to understand how swipe and tabs are working together.
Action bar tab is now depreciated because of new toolbar facility . You can use now Sliding tab https://developer.android.com/samples/SlidingTabsBasic/src/com.example.android.common/view/SlidingTabLayout.html for creating swipe views using view pager
Use a Sliding tab Layout.
Get the Sliding Tab Layout & Sliding Tab Strip java file in the following link.
https://github.com/google/iosched/tree/master/android/src/main/java/com/google/samples/apps/iosched/ui/widget
Copy the 2 into your project and follow the follwing tutorial.
Note: Dont copy the one in the developers android website its not updated as far as I know

I had the same problem.
I have been doing a small research on UI designs for Android for the last few weeks. My main concern right now is the action bar along with tabs. I believe the default android implementation takes to much room on the screen.
Recently I took a look at the Flickr app and I really like how they do this but I am not sure how to implement tabs this smoothly inside the action bar itself.
All help / ideas are appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Screenshot of the action bar can be found here:

Check out this library on github.
It's an Android Library to help you create actionbar tabs like Capitaine train app by Cyril Mottier.
You have to set a customview in your actionbar and use something like ViewPagerIndicator
http://viewpagerindicator.com/
To setup a custom view in your actionbar just use setCustomView but remember to enable the display of custom view first.
Take a look at this

I want to create some tabs on android but I do not know if this kind of tabs is possible to create on android. If they are possible can someone give me some link to a similar tutorial or example so I can take a look how to create such tabs in android.
Here is what I'm looking for:
I need to have 2 tabs left and right, and a logo in the center that is not clickable.
You can use my library on Github it allows you to create a custom tab layout and use it. So you can create a layout which contains both image and text, and then you can modify tab according to position.
I am creating an app where i would like to use both the drop down list navigation and tab navigation on an actionbar. But i can not figure out how to do this without implementing the actionbar as a custom view which would mess up a lot of the nice built in features.
So what is the best way to get both of these navigation modes at the same time?
Android will not build both of these for you. You can use the ViewPagerIndicator library to make an emulated tab bar for a ViewPager, which is probably the easiest way to do this.
