10,358 PointsImplement Tabs in Toolbar?
So Im trying to implement a tab navigation with the tabs inside the Toolbar, just like in the Hotel Tonight app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hoteltonight.android.prod&hl=en
Heres another pic kind of showing what im wanting to do:

Its basically just some icon tabs in the action bar, and you can swipe left/right to navigate through the tabs or click on them. I was looking at ActionBar.Tab but all of that seems to be deprecated now...so how should I go about implementing this?
EDIT: Heres a pic from the Hotel Tonight app showing the icon tabs in the Toolbar: http://40.media.tumblr.com/0f136bf03b655706c8bce495c4cf9cf3/tumblr_ns07c7vFhb1r2wjwko1_1280.png

There is a relatively new library from Google that makes it easier to add tabs to the Toolbar. There is a link here that talks about it:

10,358 PointsStill looking for this, have been asking on multiple communities but no one seems to have an answer, even though a good chunk of the top apps and apps with design awards are using this ui pattern. The Flipboard app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flipboard.app&hl=en) also does this, heres a screenshot of it: http://prntscr.com/83607c

10,358 PointsThanks for the response. I know about the design library and TabLayout, but every guide and tutorial on implementing tabs ive seen has had them below the Toolbar, instead of inside it. Any tips or links on how to do something like that?
