Having read the post here: http://goo.gl/6xYBD (Android 3.0-Tabhost) and based on the lack of a TabFragment it appears that the way to do things in 3.0 (and I guess above) is to use tabs in the action bar.
My issue is that I'm writing an app that has the fairly standard 'listview on left, content on right' layout, and I'd like my content on the right to have tabs. I know I can change the right fragment using the tabs in the action bar, but from a UI perspective, it just looks wrong. The tabs in the action bar look like they preside over the *whole* application as they are above the left ListView as well. For example, in the HoneycombGallery app, the Android/Balloons/ Bikes.... tabs change both the ListView fragment and the content fragment. Mine would only change which aspect of the content you're looking at. I tried inflating a TabHost into the fragment but I get NullPointerExceptions when I run TabSpec.setContent (that may be me doing something wrong - I'll have another run at debugging it but figured I'd ask this anyway). I hope that all makes sense. If I need to explain better please let me know. I'm very interested in how others are solving this problem since I think the 'listview | content' style is quite common. At the moment, my alternatives are either to fake tabs with buttons (something I'd rather avoid) or to present menu buttons in the action bar to change what you're looking at.
