Whats the best way to add many tabs to the tadwidget? I need to add at least 7 tabs, and I dont want them to look too tight. Is there some other component to do this?
Add as many Tabs as you want to the tab widget
Change the tabWidget's Visibility to GONE
Now Implement your nice component to select a page
Every time this nice component changes the selection call:
tabHost.setCurrentTab(the_page_index);

I am done with adding Action Bar and swipe able Tabs but now I want to add a fragment above the tabs which occupies good amount of screen and contains an image some text details and a spinner/drop down list as well. How can I do that?
I could not find any method for doing this. Some conflicts arise if i try to add something above the tabs.
Any help will be appreciated. Thank You
Download this example and modify according to your requirement

I have a design for an app that will have a row of buttons below the action bar. Each button will open a different fragment. I am aware of ViewPagers, but I do not want the swipe between fragments functionality. I know that I can disable this functionality, but at that point is it worth using a ViewPager? I know this is a pretty common design paradigm, so how do most apps handle this sort of thing?
It seems like the ViewPager will provide some nice functionality out of the box, like switching between fragments and what not. So, I am leaning towards using one, but was hoping someone could provide some feedback on this approach.
Thanks!
Keep the buttons in the layout of your main activity. Have them call a function lets say loadFragment(Button button) on click.
This function then handles switching of the fragments, and you can change the display of the navigation buttons inside this function itself to highlight the appropriate button or something equivalent.
Google Design is always worth the reading.
Check http://developer.android.com/design/patterns/swipe-views.html for details.
Personally I have used ViewPager with tab layout for swiping purpose and it makes it easy to me to synchronise the transitions ( tabs and pages) where I put a red circle to the tab corresponding to the viewed page. With this approach I got a clean separated code.
I have existed code for two activities(ActivityA and ActivityB).
Now I need to have a another activity, which will act as my first and only screen of my application. This activity will be having two tabs on its header part and I need to display each of my Activity when user press on each tab.
I have done some search on this and found TabAcivity will be suitable choice, but it is deprecated now.
I saw many posts which are suggesting Fragments. But I dont want to change my existing code. Can any one suggest me easy method to incorporate this.

Does any one know how to create horizontal tabs with all the tabs being loaded in the same page, i.e. when each tab is select it should be loaded in the same page without cal several activities can it be done in within a single activity use & the horizontal tabs list should not be disturbed in any case when any of the tabs are selected, friends i am need your help in this part if anybody has a code please do share,thanks in advance.
I'm not really sure if I understand you right,but here is a link to TabWidget demo which you can use to create horizontal tabs.And about the other part of your question you can use ActivityManager for this purpose.Hope it helps.
If this answer don't quit to your question, please provide some more details or examples.
I am developing an app in android in which I need a header and footer through out app while switching between different activities. The header and footer text will change while switching between activities. What would be the best way to achieve this approach? Actually the header will show navigation of app.
I do not want to create them on each next activity. So that when switch between activities only internal content should switch from right to left not the header and footer
This is not possible with separate activities, sorry.
You could recreate what a TabActivity does? So you'll load your activities in your "raiActivity", and instead of having various tabs, you'll have a header and footer.
Check out ActivityGroup for this
May work with
fragments
but i don't know how to explain it to you. Google search tutorials for fragments and even frame layout maube you get what you want. This was the closest i got to answer my questions about something like that.
