title: Android: How to Remove Selected Tab Highlight Color & On Press Highlight on TabWidget
body: <p>I am now working with Android TabWidget.
  I build this TabWidget based on <a href="http://mobileorchard.com/android-app-development-tabbed-activities/" rel="nofollow">http://mobileorchard.com/android-app-development-tabbed-activities/</a><br>
  I've already add background to the TabWidget,<br>
  but apparently the highlight of selected tab and pressed tab is always visible and I cant turn it off yet.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the picture (sorry cant directly add image because still a newb). :<br>
  1. default selected tab : <a href="http://postimage.org/image/9ryed6w5b/" rel="nofollow">http://postimage.org/image/9ryed6w5b/</a><br>
  2. on pressed tab : <a href="http://postimage.org/image/gwg7m83en/" rel="nofollow">http://postimage.org/image/gwg7m83en/</a></p>
  
  <p>What I want is the default selected tab color and on pressed tab color to be invisible or turned off, so the image background will fully shown, not blocked by those colors.</p>
  
  <p>Any response will be appreciated. Thank you :)</p>
  
  <p>the code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
          //hide title bar
          BasicDisplaySettings.toggleTaskBar(EpolicyMainActivity.this, false);
          //show status bar
          BasicDisplaySettings.toggleStatusBar(EpolicyMainActivity.this, true);
  
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
          setContentView(R.layout.epolicy);
          TabHost tabHost=(TabHost)findViewById(R.id.tabHost);
          tabHost.setup();
          tabHost.getTabWidget().setBackgroundColor(0);
          tabHost.getTabWidget().setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.epolicy_menu_bar);      
  
          TabSpec spec1=tabHost.newTabSpec("Tab 1");
          spec1.setContent(R.id.tab1);
          spec1.setIndicator("",getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.epolicy_menu_home));
  
          TabSpec spec2=tabHost.newTabSpec("Tab 2");
          spec2.setContent(R.id.tab2);
          spec2.setIndicator("",getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.epolicy_menu_nab));
  
          TabSpec spec3=tabHost.newTabSpec("Tab 3");
          spec3.setContent(R.id.tab3);
          spec3.setIndicator("",getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.epolicy_menu_contact));
  
          TabSpec spec4=tabHost.newTabSpec("Tab 4");
          spec4.setContent(R.id.tab4);
          spec4.setIndicator("",getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.epolicy_menu_agen));
  
  
  tabHost.addTab(spec1);
  tabHost.addTab(spec2);
  tabHost.addTab(spec3);
  tabHost.addTab(spec4);
