Tab View in Android

Tab View 

For Android Version 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) have deprecation the TabActivity, In this case i try use the TabHost class but it shows an error,then i use LocalActivityManager class then the problem is solved.

1. MyActivity.java

public class MyActivity extends Activity {

 TabHost mTabHost;
 LocalActivityManager mLocalActivityManager;

 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.tab_view);
  mTabHost = (TabHost) findViewById(android.R.id.tabhost);
  mLocalActivityManager = new LocalActivityManager(this, false);
  mLocalActivityManager.dispatchCreate(savedInstanceState);
  mTabHost.setup(mLocalActivityManager);
  createTab();
 }

 protected void createTab() {

  setupTab(R.drawable.message_tab_selector,Content1Activity.class);
  setupTab(R.drawable.group_tab_selector, Content2Activity.class);
  setupTab(R.drawable.favour_tab_selector,Content3Activity.class);
 }

 private void setupTab(int tag, Class<?> className) {

  View tabview = createTabView(mTabHost.getContext(), tag);
  Intent intentAndroid = new Intent().setClass(this, className);
  TabSpec setContent = mTabHost.newTabSpec("").setIndicator(tabview)
    .setContent(intentAndroid);
  mTabHost.addTab(setContent);
 }

 private static View createTabView(final Context context, int imageid) {
  View view = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.tab_bg, null);
  ImageView tv = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.tabsimage);
  tv.setImageDrawable(context.getResources().getDrawable(imageid));
  return view;
 }
}

2. message_tab_selector.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <item android:drawable="@drawable/message1" android:state_selected="true"/>
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/message"/>

</selector>
