Currently I'm trying to implement the SlidingTab with icon as tabtitle, then the icon should be highlighted when the corresponding tab is selected.
I use Google's SlidingTabLayout in following tutorial, and have made the icon instead of the tabtitle as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSaSNX5QI-E
I know where I can get the current tab position by implementing OnPageChangeListener, but I don't what should I add in public void onPageSelected(int position) {} here is my current status and code, please kindly advise, it will be appreciate if you keep the instruction as detail as possible, since I am a very beginner as a android developer.
thanks
