setnavigationmode is deprecated

I pretty much figured out a solution. After watching this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRg_eDfQ8fk) and reading the comments I was able to create two tabs. Still not the same as Ben created, but they work.

First make sure the activity_main.xml has a LinearLayout with the ViewPager INSIDE of it (and a SlidingTabLayout above it), like this:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <com.only_media.ribbit.SlidingTabLayout
        android:id="@+id/sliding_tabs"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

    <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        android:id="@+id/pager"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        tools:context=".MainActivity" />
</LinearLayout>

Then use the sample code from the android developer site to create 2 java classes: "SlidingTabLayout.java" (http://developer.android.com/samples/SlidingTabsBasic/src/com.example.android.common/view/SlidingTabLayout.html) and "SlidingTabStrip.java" (http://developer.android.com/samples/SlidingTabsBasic/src/com.example.android.common/view/SlidingTabStrip.html)

don't forget to change the sample package names (=package com.example.android.common.view;) to your package names, for example com.my_company.ribbit;

And finally create another variable in MainActivity.java below SectionsPagerAdapter:

SectionsPagerAdapter mSectionsPagerAdapter;
SlidingTabLayout mSlidingTabLayout; //this one

And define the mSlidingTabLayout below the ViewPager inside MainActivity.java:

mSlidingTabLayout = (SlidingTabLayout) findViewById(R.id.sliding_tabs);
mSlidingTabLayout.setViewPager(mViewPager);

That's pretty much it.

Hi all, one small hints - if anyone is not very familiarize yet with re writing the code you can still use the old library which was used by Ben and all function will be working (as for old code). As far I am concern it is not a recommended method however if someone is not able yet to write a new code for tabs please just use function import from Eclipse project and import project which is available in download section under video (this function is visible on the first wizard window in Android studio). Or go to file and then select Import Project.

The library which used for compiling the project from video is [com.android.support:support-v4:19.1.0].

Cheers, Hubert

If you want the new implementation, I've worked it all out here:

Please let me know if anything isn't working or is confusing, I've pretty fast with responses and updates.

Hi Nicolas great work! :) Thank you.
