造型Android菜单（Android Lollipop）

Question

How I can style my android menu like given image. When I click on the second tab I need to highlight the icon with Blue color, Something similar to first one with orange color.

So my doubt regarding designing the menu are:

• What control I need to use for implementing the feature

• If it is possible How I can customize the control to display like this.

I am a windows phone developer, Don't have that much expertise in android UI controls. Recently only I started developing an Android using Xamarin.

So anyone please help me to learn the control. I don't need a ready made answer. Please guide me to implement the same, by sharing some code snippets or web links

Answer 1

Assuming those are ActionBar Tabs, I'd recommend using this tool. You can configure the colors you'd like, then add the generated files to your project as a custom Style.

I have used this exact site with my Xamarin Android projects, and can verify it works as intended.

You can create a tab view with this Developer-Android example. There is an also color customization example here . And any configuration for customizing tabs can be made inside the class.
