Android Action Bar Sherlock Tabs Icon for each tab from resources

I am using example from Action Bar Sherlock Fragment Tabs Pager. What I am trying to do is set different icon image for each tab. Text for each tab is not necessary, it can be included in image file. Is there a simple solution to this problem.

This is what I do and works. Create the tabs menu and add the text (no needed in your case), the fragment to open and the Icon:

ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(true);
Tab tab = actionBar.newTab()
     .setText("Tab title")
     .setTabListener(new ResultadosSorteosFragment())
     .setIcon(R.drawable.resultados_sorteos);

My problem is that I want to put the image under the text. I hope it´s what you need

If you follow the sample in the ABS FragmentTabsPager, this is what you can do:

This is to just show icon + label text :

mTabsAdapter.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("category").setIndicator("my label text", getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.collections_labels) ),
            CategoryFragmentActivity.CategoryFragment.class, null); //

This is to just show icon only:

mTabsAdapter.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("category").setIndicator("", getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.collections_labels) ),
            CategoryFragmentActivity.CategoryFragment.class, null); //
