I am trying to create center raised tabbar.I searched a lot finally i got this link.I followed the answer but getting null pointer exception:

Here is the code:

public class Main extends TabActivity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    TabHost tabHost;
    TabHost.TabSpec spec;
    Intent intent;


    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        tabHost = getTabHost();
        setTabs();
        tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(0).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.home);
        tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(1).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.selling);
        tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(2).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.photo);
        tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(3).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.camera);
        tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(4).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.setting);



    }
    private void setTabs()
    {
        addTab("Home",R.drawable.home, FragmentsTab1.class);
        addTab("Search", R.drawable.selling, FragmentsTab2.class);
        addTab("Home", R.drawable.photo, FragmentsTab3.class);
        addTab("Search",R.drawable.camera, FragmentsTab2.class);
        addTab("Search",R.drawable.setting, FragmentsTab2.class);
    }

    private void addTab(String labelId, int drawableId, Class<?> c)
    {

        intent = new Intent(this, c);

         spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("tab" + labelId);    

        View tabIndicator = LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.tab_indicator, getTabWidget(), false);
        /*TextView title = (TextView) tabIndicator.findViewById(R.id.title);
        title.setText(labelId);*/
        ImageView icon = (ImageView) tabIndicator.findViewById(R.id.icon);
        icon.setImageResource(drawableId);

        spec.setIndicator(tabIndicator);
        spec.setContent(intent);
        tabHost.addTab(spec);
    }
}

here is the error:

@Priya try this code

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    //setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    TabHost mTabHost = getTabHost();

    mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("first").setIndicator("First").setContent(new Intent(this  ,FirstActivity.class )));
    mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("second").setIndicator("Second").setContent(new Intent(this , SecondActivity.class )));
    mTabHost.setCurrentTab(0);

I got Solution..... Use this:

private void addTab(String labelId, int drawableId, Class<?> c)
{
    TabHost mTabHost = getTabHost();
    intent = new Intent(this, c);

     spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("tab" + labelId);    

    View tabIndicator = LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.tab_indicator, getTabWidget(), false);
    /*TextView title = (TextView) tabIndicator.findViewById(R.id.title);
    title.setText(labelId);*/
    ImageView icon = (ImageView) tabIndicator.findViewById(R.id.icon);
    icon.setImageResource(drawableId);

    spec.setIndicator(tabIndicator);
    spec.setContent(intent);
    tabHost.addTab(spec);
}
}

find Tab host id in addTab method and remove from onCreate() method...
