How do I change the color of the bottom bar for TabWidget? I have successfully changed the tab background color but the bottom bar is still grey/orange and I couldn't find any info in the Android doc and source regarding this. Thanks.

See:

to enable/disable this line: tabHost.getTabWidget().setStripEnabled(boolean);

to set drawable at left for this line: tabHost.getTabWidget().setLeftStripDrawable(drawable);

to set resourse at left for this line tabHost.getTabWidget().setLeftStripDrawable(resId);

to set drawable at right for this line: tabHost.getTabWidget().setRightStripDrawable(drawable);

to set resourse at right for this line: tabHost.getTabWidget().setRightStripDrawable(resId);
