I would like to use a different background color, and change the font color to the selected tab. How can I do that?

Answer 1

To do this i used drawables for tab widgets instead of fixed images. my code is

tab1.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.tab_drawable));

in the tab_drawable is a simple selector defining the behavior of the drawable for different state. you can try that it is very useful.

Answer 2

you can google for the tables available for different colors this is a chart or table available with color and the code to get that color

just choose which ever you like
