I know how to put the icon on each tab, that is no problem. I also ran across this : Stack Overflow thread on pretty much same thing

I followed one of the links from that question, and found this

Pretty much, it said use a selector defined in the xml, sure, did that. But there is no id associated w/ it so I am not sure how to get the selector function as a drawable so I can use it as the icon for the tabs. Maybe I am going about this the wrong way.. But this is what I have, and obviously missing something.

<selector
    android:id="@+id/myselector"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <!-- Non focused states -->
    <item
        android:state_focused="false"
        android:state_selected="false"
        android:state_pressed="false"
        android:drawable="@drawable/darklogo" />
    <item
        android:state_focused="false"
        android:state_selected="true"
        android:state_pressed="false"
        android:drawable="@drawable/lightlogo" />

    <!-- Focused states -->
    <item
        android:state_focused="true"
        android:state_selected="false"
        android:state_pressed="false"
        android:drawable="@drawable/lightlogo" />
    <item
        android:state_focused="true"
        android:state_selected="true"
        android:state_pressed="false"
        android:drawable="@drawable/lightlogo" />

    <!-- Pressed -->
    <item
        android:state_pressed="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/lightlogo" />
</selector>

In my code, an example tab is generated using :

  host.addTab(host.newTabSpec("three")  
                .setIndicator("map",drawables)  
                .setContent(new Intent(this, Map.class))); 

Right now drawables is just a reference to an drawable image resource. How do I make the selector a drawable? * This is my question *
