Tab Layout Won't Show Tab Icons

So I finally made a tab layout for my app that works flawlessly, but there's something missing. I also put a lot of effort in designing icons but I noticed that they're not showing

Solution 1:

This is one nice trick that I used.

Unfortunately since TabHost is depreciated, it somehow only show text in the screen on higher level Api. Some workaround is to do this:

//CRAFTING TABTabSpeccraftTabSpec= tabHost.newTabSpec("Crafting");      
    craftTabSpec.setIndicator("",getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.crafticonstate));
    IntentcraftIntent=newIntent(this, Bifrost.class);
    craftTabSpec.setContent(craftIntent);

Deleting the indicator(text), force the tab to load the images. if you still want the text. you can modify your image to include the text.

Hope that helps
