Tab on focus or Tab on click Image size to be increased

Question

I want to have this kind of look for my tabs , e.g. when the user clicks on a certain tab or on focus that tab's image should get enlarged.

Answer 1

You can muck around with tab sizes in Android, its a bit gnarly, but can be done

tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(1).getLayoutParams().height = tabHeight;

Where childAt is the tab you want to muck with.. I generally have modified all my tabs to the same height (loop through them all) when I do this, but it should allow you to change height dynamically one at a time like you want.

Catch the user selecting it, then go set the size of the last selected back to "normal" and increase the size of the one selected.
