Does the Android 5.0 framework have Material-styled tabs? I know in the dev preview, they were still Holo-styled. I was wondering if 5.0 has been updated with material-style tabs; I currently use PagerSlidingTabStrip for my tabs, but that has not been updated with Material design yet.
More specifically, does the support library include an implementation of material tabs? The Play Store running on 4.x has those tabs, but I'm not sure if that's a custom implementation by Google or not.
Updated (10/19/2015):
This is now provided by the Android Design Support Library:
compile "com.android.support:design:23.1.0"

Original Answer:
Look at the latest version of Google Play(down below).
They are using the SlidingTabsColors(not SlidingTabsBasic) but with colors. You need to look at those two files: SlidingTabLayout.java and SlidingTabStrip.java and simply change the color to match your ActionBar/TooBar color.
Also, you will notice when you swipe left/right, the Tab title text color will become "white" and the unselected titles are an "gray" color.
For example(how to change the indicator color):
class SlidingTabStrip extends LinearLayout {
// change the strip color
private static final int DEFAULT_SELECTED_INDICATOR_COLOR = 0xFF33B5E5;
...
}
Please see the example here: https://developer.android.com/samples/SlidingTabsColors/index.html

The old method of doing tabs by using actionBar.setNavigation() is crossed out and crahses on run. Android Studio seems to be suggesting that there is a new way to implement tabs. How!?! And will these new tabs follow the material design tabs?
You use SlidingTabs with view pagers, video found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRg_eDfQ8fk&channel=androiddevelopers
I'm using a ViewPager in my app but I would like to make it look exactly like the material design view pager. How can I go about this?

I'm having trouble using https://github.com/AdilSoomro/Iphone-Tab-in-Android with ActionBar is thus:

The result I hope is altogether more or less well

What styles are available for ActionBar? ( OR I will have to define it) The one I am using the defautlt one (a line below all the tabs) Can I change color of that line?
Are you using the native ActionBar in Android 3.0+ (Honeycomb, tablets only), or are you using a library like ActionBarSherlock or Android-ActionBar? In at least the first two cases, this post from the official Android Developers blog should help you out.
As in this image:
![two muppets][1]
where the buttons are Main, Favorites, and Help.
This is obviously a Tab Layout. Read Google's documentation and this more clear example
check this:
http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-tabwidget.html
That is not the Button. It's Tab Bar that is Displayed at the Top instead of Bottom
Tab Bar aligned Top
I would recommend that you look at the Android Tab layout tutorial: http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-tabwidget.html
HOWEVER please be aware that this tutorial uses the TabActivity class, which is deprecated. The documentation for TabActivity contains a version done using Fragments, which is the way tabs should be done now: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/TabActivity.html
Note that if you are developing for older Android devices, you should download the v4 support library, which allows you to use Fragments on old API versions: http://developer.android.com/sdk/compatibility-library.html
