Create a new Android Project

Company Domain: viralandroid.com
Package Name: com.viralandroid.actionbartabexample

Add Tabs to Your Activity


To add tabs in the action bar of your app, you have to implement ActionBar.TabListener in your java activity. And your java activity file looks like this.
src/MainActivity.java

Create Three XML Layout for Tabs


To show different content in different tabs, you have to create XML layout for different tabs. Following are the three XML activity layouts for three action bar tabs, actionbar_tab_1.xml for tab 1, actionbar_tab_2.xml for tab 2 and actionbar_tab_3.xml for tab 3.

And also, your main XML activity layout looks like this.
res/layout/activity_main.xml

That’s all. Now run your application. The final result is shown below.
