This is sample code to change the tab background color.

Use the below line of code in onCreate() to display in first time.

for(int i=0;i<tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildCount();i++)
{
     tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(i).setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#7392B5"));
}

To set different color for current selected tab. use view source print? 1 tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(0).setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#4E4E9C"));

Here 0 position is the first tab.

When you change the tab selection you need to change your selected color to that current tab & replace the default color to other tab. For that use OnTabChangeListener(). These method will be called when you change the tab selection. view source print? 01 @Override 02 public void onTabChanged(String tabId) { 03 // TODO Auto-generated method stub 04 for(int i=0;i 05 { 06 tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(i).setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#7392B5")); 07 } 08 09 tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(tabHost.getCurrentTab()).setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#4E4E9C")); 10 }
