Changing icons in tabs (Android)?

Question

Java

The question is this: I want to change the tab icon (Android TabHost), when I click on the tab or when I hover focus.
I wrote selectors, googled, the solution is obvious through selectors, I wrote, added icons, added drawable, but nothing happens, the icons do not change. Who faced similar?

Answer 1

Believe it or not, only these and a couple of dozen more tutorials did not help. Did everything as there and does not work. Unfortunately, the code still works...

Answer 2

Here are a couple of tutorials on this topic:
developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-tabwidget.html
It says that you can use several drawables for a tab, for different states (state-list drawable).

Answer 3

android_menu_button.xml: MainActivity.java: Resources res = getResources(); tabRecipeTabSpec.setIndicator("",res.getDrawable(R.drawable.android_menu_button) ).setContent(new Intent(this,RecipeTab.class)); recipe_tab_menu_.png, recipe_tab_menu.png files are in drawable-hdpi. What could be the problem?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:drawable="@drawable/recipe_tab_menu_"
android:state_selected="true"
android:state_pressed="false"
android:color="#ffffff"/>
<item android:drawable="@drawable/recipe_tab_menu" />
