Answer 1

You can use ViewPagerIndicator library (using TabPageIndicator control) with a ViewPager control, and these are completely separate from the ActionBar and can be positioned anywhere you like. Download the source and check out the sample app. The code is very straightforward.

Here's an example straight from the source of the sample app
