In case anyone is watching this thread, I'll post the example I threw together here as well.
I was planning on writing a full blown tutorial but since I can tell you are anxious to see it... This is a 1.5 compatible version that uses modified versions of the TabActivity, TabHost, and TabWidget (and related resources) from Android 1.6. There are obvious things that could be done better but the idea is there and should at least get you headed in the "right" direction. http://nexsoftware.net/Android/Tutorials/CustomTabActivity.zip This allows you to dynamically move the tabs from top to bottom, and also allows you to hide or show them, you can swipe left or right to switch tabs (particularly useful if you have hidden the tabs) and you can also replace the activity of a tab with another activity. Because this is the Tab framework from Android 1.6 you can also change the View that is used for the tabs. Also... as I said, this is compatible with Android 1.5.
