I'm in the process of making an Android 3 app that has a tab-based navigation. Being quite new to Android I searched for tab tutorials and found a few different approaches, out of which an implementation based on Fragments + ActionBar seemed to be the best.

As it is now it is only adding the Text with the argument ActionBar.Tab tabB = bar.newTab().setText("Summary"); but I also want for example tabB to have the android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_view_as_list" here is the tutorial [this video] and here [LINK] Thanks
