Android ICS to JB Actionbar tabs changed requirements

http://stackoverflow.com – I have an application that targets SDK 15, ICS 4.0.3. I just updated it to point at 4.1 it broke my user interface, and makes it pretty ugly: Here's what it looks like normally on API 15: And here's it on 16 or 17: I got a feeling this is because the Nexus 7 uses the phone UI instead of the actual tablet UI... Is there a way to force the tabs into the actionbar without having to use something like ActionBar sherlock or something else (like subclassing)? Or even if I could make the tabs not look terrible, perhaps if they had centered text? Right now the buttons don't even do match_parent. (HowTos)

I have an Android project with Sherlock ActionBar and Support Library. In the onCreate of SherlockFragmentActivity I initialized ActionBar with 2 tabs:

private void configureActionBar(){ ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar(); actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false); actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS); ActionBar.Tab tab = actionBar.newTab()

Is there a way to use ActionBar tabs, but with the tabs switching ContentViews instead of fragments?

I agree before-hand with anyone who wants to make the argument that tabs should be at the top of the screen, but I can't control the requirements for my app :) . I have to build an app with tabs at the bottom of the screen. I'm using SDK 14 and Actionbars. Is this even possible?

What I want to have Two actionbar tabs each conatinig a ViewPager with some fragments.

What I did so far MainActivity:

public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {

@Override protected void onCreate

Trying to play with default project actionbar+tabs, created by ADT plugin. On some devices tabs moved to drop-down list after screen rotation.

Android developer guide says:

Note: In some cases, the Android system will show your action bar tabs as a drop-down list in order to ensure the best fit in the action bar.

But if I want to disable this feature, and show always tabs, there is a right
