I'm trying to implement an ViewPager with the page title containing only an image/icon (Drawable).

I tried using J.W. ViewPagerIndicator, but it doesn't support icons only. The best I got is that I managed to display the icon, but is not centered(it is displayed on the left - like there is some text in the page title, but is not visible). I also tried to modify the library, but haven't managed to implement something that satisfies my needs for this (also I would prefer not to modify an library).

Can you guys recommend some other library or some good tutorial to implement custom ViewPager ?

PS: I'm trying to do something like the Twitter android application has.

Thank you.

LE:

After more searches and documentation I found that it can be achieved through reflection ... also I have found this method that works for now:

private void forceStackedTabs() {
    ActionBar ab = getSupportActionBar();
    if ( ab instanceof ActionBarImpl ) {
        // Pre-ICS
        disableEmbeddedTabs( ab );
    } else if ( ab instanceof ActionBarWrapper ) {
        // ICS
        try {
            Field abField = ab.getClass().getDeclaredField( "mActionBar" );
            abField.setAccessible( true );
            disableEmbeddedTabs( abField.get( ab ) );
        } catch (NoSuchFieldException e) {
            Log.e( TAG, "Error disabling actionbar embedded", e );
        } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
            Log.e( TAG, "Error disabling actionbar embedded", e );
        } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
            Log.e( TAG, "Error disabling actionbar embedded", e );
        }
    }
}
private void disableEmbeddedTabs(Object ab) {
    try {
        Method setHasEmbeddedTabsMethod = ab.getClass().getDeclaredMethod("setHasEmbeddedTabs", boolean.class);
        setHasEmbeddedTabsMethod.setAccessible(true);
        setHasEmbeddedTabsMethod.invoke(ab, false);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.e( TAG, "Error disabling actionbar embedded", e );
    }
}

This is the link where I found it: forceStackedTabs()

But I would prefer another method, because through reflection this code can break at any time!
