I'm new to Android and would like to replace ActionBar with Tabs like in facebook Messager app or AirBnB app.
I have tried to find tutorials but could not find any.
Can anyone suggest resources or tutorials that could help me achieve that kind of actionbar?
Thx!
hide the actionbar and use toolbar (any layout ) to make your custom layout like facebook.

I was making my app when I thought I'd look at other apps for inspiration, when I came across this toolbar implementation.
Does anyone know how to implement this?
It is using FragmentStatePager which uses fragment for its implementation.
The menu has been set up and aligned using ActionMenuView. Tablayout is also being used for the category
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 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 make a UI like this http://d.pr/i/ZQxO but I don't think so that android ActionBar component has the provision to add menu layout like this. What can be the possible workaround for this? Thanks.
You can do it with simple option menus. Have look on official samples or even better do it breadcrumb
