Can you explay what you trying to do? I ask because getLocalActivityManager() is returning deprecated class LocalActivityManager that you shouldnot really use. You should replace it with fragments

what is this extra line used in the xml layout in the link??

xmlns:swipeytabs="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/net.peterkuterna.android.apps.swipeytabs"

[peter_budo]

Telling layout manager that there is custom schema that is defined somewhere and swipeytabs will be used as reference signature to access it, like it is done just few lines bellow

swipeytabs:bottomBarColor="#ff96aa39"
swipeytabs:bottomBarHeight="2dip"
swipeytabs:tabIndicatorHeight="3dip"

Thanks peter budo and sorry to bother you again (just wanted to know each and every thing completely so that i could explain the same to others who find difficulty in this)
1. then what is this code?

<net.peterkuterna.android.apps.swipeytabs.SwipeyTabs
        android:id="@+id/swipeytabs"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        swipeytabs:bottomBarColor="#ff96aa39"
        swipeytabs:bottomBarHeight="2dip"
        swipeytabs:tabIndicatorHeight="3dip"
        android:background="#ff3b3b3b"/>

Is this the code similar to using a google map?
i mean we are having some code given by google to display maps.
Is it the same?

1. and even i am not having any view like viewpager instead am having few views like viewflipper ,viewanimater and viewswitcher..
   can i know how to use this code

   <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
   android:id="@+id/viewpager"
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="0px"
   android:layout_weight="1" />

Thanks in advance.

Not really. The guy just created custom component that extends Fragment, so that is why you still able to pass some of the android paramenters, and then there are some custom things like colour of the tab, tab height that you could still manipulate through android params but it would be complicated and he provided easier way where you pass what you wish to change and all the stuff is handled internaly
