Android: TabActivity deprecated using Fragment instead

Question

I'm trying to implement a MenuBar (i need it always visible so the context menu is not useful !) in the bottom of every activity for my app. I saw that the easy to use TabActivity is now deprecated...and so i didn't get yet ho should i use the Fragments "technology". I already found some discussion...but there is any already implemented eclipse project i could download somewhere or any easy to follow tutorial? The one i followed over here http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/TabActivity.html was really incomplete. I get some class cast exception due the fact i didn't get how to use FragmentActivities. Help! :)
