我们先看一下效果，底下的Tab切换会有一个移动的动画效果:

让Activity集成TabActivity,当然TabActivity已经过时了，现在都推荐使用Fragment来做了

之后我们会用主流的方法来搭建一个App的框架,首先我们看一下xml文件:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<TabHost xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@android:id/tabhost"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical" >

        <FrameLayout
            android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:layout_weight="1.0" >

            <LinearLayout
                android:id="@+id/tab_news1"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                android:orientation="vertical" >

                <TextView
                    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                    android:text="Tab1"
                    android:textSize="30sp" >
                </TextView>
            </LinearLayout>

            <LinearLayout
                android:id="@+id/tab_news2"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                android:orientation="vertical" >

                <TextView
                    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                    android:text="Tab2"
                    android:textSize="30sp" >
                </TextView>
            </LinearLayout>

            <LinearLayout
                android:id="@+id/tab_news3"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                android:orientation="vertical" >

                <TextView
                    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                    android:text="Tab3"
                    android:textSize="30sp" >
                </TextView>
            </LinearLayout>

            <LinearLayout
                android:id="@+id/tab_news4"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                android:orientation="vertical" >

                <TextView
                    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                    android:text="Tab4"
                    android:textSize="30sp" >
                </TextView>
            </LinearLayout>

            <LinearLayout
                android:id="@+id/tab_news5"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                android:orientation="vertical" >

                <TextView
                    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                    android:text="Tab5"
                    android:textSize="30sp" >
                </TextView>
            </LinearLayout>
        </FrameLayout>
   <!--
      这个是底部的tab,上面覆盖一个imageview ,tab_widget_image是可以滑动的
    -->
        <FrameLayout
            android:id="@+id/tab_widget_layout"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="bottom"
            android:background="@drawable/tab_bottom" >

            <TabWidget
                android:id="@android:id/tabs"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent" />

            <ImageView
                android:id="@+id/tab_widget_image"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                android:layout_gravity="left"
                android:scaleType="fitXY"
                android:class="lazyload" src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAYAAAAfFcSJAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAARnQU1BAACxjwv8YQUAAAAJcEhZcwAADsQAAA7EAZUrDhsAAAANSURBVBhXYzh8+PB/AAffA0nNPuCLAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC" data-original="@drawable/tab_bottom_selected" />
        </FrameLayout>
    </LinearLayout>

</TabHost>

每一个Item都是一个TabWidget,在Java文件中初始化这个TabHost

private void initTabHost() {
   mTabHost = getTabHost();
   mTabWidget = mTabHost.getTabWidget();
   
   mTabHost.setCurrentTab(0);

   View homeWidgetView = mLayoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.tab_indicator, mTabWidget, false);
   Intent intent = new Intent();
   intent.setClass(this, PicWallActivity.class);
   TabHost.TabSpec tabSpec = mTabHost.newTabSpec(HOME_TAB);
   TextView homeTitle = (TextView) homeWidgetView.findViewById(R.id.title);
   homeTitle.setText(R.string.main_tab_home);
   ImageView homeIcon = (ImageView) homeWidgetView.findViewById(R.id.icon);
   homeIcon.setBackgroundResource(NORMAL_IMAGE[0]);
   tabSpec = tabSpec.setIndicator(homeWidgetView).setContent(intent);
   
   mTabHost.addTab(tabSpec);

   //类似add 另外4个Tab
   mTabHost.setOnTabChangedListener(new TabHostListener(this));

   ((ImageView)mTabWidget.getChildAt(0).findViewById(R.id.icon))
           .setImageResource(SELECTED_IMAGE[0]);
   ((TextView)mTabWidget.getChildAt(0).findViewById(R.id.title))
          .setTextColor(TabActivityWithAnimation.this.getResources().getColor(R.color.white));
   mTabWidget.getChildAt(0).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.tab_bottom_selected);
   
   animImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.tab_widget_image);
   animImage.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
}

那么如何实现动画效果呢，其实，只是一个TranslateAnimation动画就可以实现，

private void showAnimation() {
    Log.v("test", "showAnimation");
    if (lastTabIndex == currTabIndex) {
        return;
    }
    if (mTabWidget.getChildCount() < 2) {
        return;
    }


    int fromX = lastTabIndex * widgetItemWidth;
    int toX = currTabIndex * widgetItemWidth;
    Log.v("test", "fromX:" + fromX + " toX:" + toX);
       TranslateAnimation animation = new TranslateAnimation(fromX, toX, 0, 0);
       animation.setDuration(600);
       animation.setAnimationListener(new AnimationListener() {
          
          @Override
          public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {
              mTabWidget.getChildAt(lastTabIndex).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.tab_bottom);
              ((ImageView)mTabWidget.getChildAt(lastTabIndex).findViewById(R.id.icon))
                  .setImageResource(NORMAL_IMAGE[lastTabIndex]);
              ((TextView)mTabWidget.getChildAt(lastTabIndex).findViewById(R.id.title))
              .setTextColor(TabActivityWithAnimation.this.getResources().getColor(R.drawable.gray2));
              animImage.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
          }
          
          @Override
          public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {
          }
          
          @Override
          public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
              animImage.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
              ((ImageView)mTabWidget.getChildAt(currTabIndex).findViewById(R.id.icon))
                  .setImageResource(SELECTED_IMAGE[currTabIndex]);
              ((TextView)mTabWidget.getChildAt(currTabIndex).findViewById(R.id.title))
               .setTextColor(TabActivityWithAnimation.this.getResources().getColor(R.color.white));
              mTabWidget.getChildAt(currTabIndex).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.tab_bottom_selected);
              lastTabIndex = currTabIndex;
          }
      });
       animImage.startAnimation(animation);
   }



private class TabHostListener implements TabHost.OnTabChangeListener {
 Context context;
 public TabHostListener(Context context){
    this.context = context;
 }
 public void onTabChanged(String paramString) {
     lastTabIndex = currTabIndex;
     currTabIndex = mTabHost.getCurrentTab();
     if (lastTabIndex != currTabIndex) {
         showAnimation();
     }
     
 }
}
