For some reason, when I change the orientation of the device, the actionbar is not properly rebuilt and the tabs (sometimes shown as a spinner) are overlapped with the other menu items.
I have 4 tabs (it works fine up to 3) (I use Actionbarsherlock, if relevant) On portrait, I use images instead of text for the tabs.
Here's a screenshot to explain:

And here's the code I use:
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// Set up the action bar.
actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
// Create the adapter that will return a fragment for each of the three
// primary sections of the app.
mSectionsPagerAdapter = new SectionsPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
// Set up the ViewPager with the sections adapter.
mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
mViewPager.setEnabled(false);
mViewPager.setAdapter(mSectionsPagerAdapter);
mViewPager.setOffscreenPageLimit(3);
mViewPager.setOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.SimpleOnPageChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onPageSelected(int position) {
actionBar.setSelectedNavigationItem(position);
}
});
RebuildActionBar();
}
public void RebuildActionBar(){
if(actionBar.getTabCount()>0) actionBar.removeAllTabs();
// For each of the sections in the app, add a tab to the action bar.
for (int i = 0; i < mSectionsPagerAdapter.getCount(); i++) {
if(screen_width>screen_height){
actionBar.addTab(actionBar.newTab()
.setText(mSectionsPagerAdapter.getPageTitle(i))
.setTabListener(this));
} else {
actionBar.addTab(actionBar.newTab()
.setIcon(mSectionsPagerAdapter.getPageIcon(i))
.setTabListener(this));
}
}
}
@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
RebuildActionBar();
}
In Manifest (just in case you ask, I have this working fine):
<activity
...
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|keyboard|screenSize"
/>
1) I need, of course, to clean the ovelapping up.
And 2) If by any chance you can help me disable the spinner, even better. I want only tabs, even if I have to use images in both orientations.
