To change the text color of tabs, you need to get the view i.e TextView which is set as title of tabs and you can change it like this:
TabHost tabhost = getTabHost();
for(int i=0;i<tabhost.getTabWidget().getChildCount();i++)
{
TextView tv = (TextView) tabhost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(i).findViewById(android.R.id.title);
tv.setTextColor(.....);
}
hope this helps….
