You can also just "copy" the style and modify the parts you don't like, i.e.:

<style name="StyledIndicators" parent="@android:style/Theme.Light">
    <item name="vpiTabPageIndicatorStyle">@style/CustomTabPageIndicator</item>  
</style>

more examples

Android contains a number of standard resources, such as styles, themes, and layouts. To access these resource, qualify your resource reference with the android package name (see original source here).

Here is an exemple for image :

ImageView imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.myimageview); imageView.setImageResource(android.R.drawable.ic_media_play);

If the import android.R cannot be found, you should check your project properties and set the right platform sdk. From Eclipse, right click on project > properties > android and choose the corresponding "project build target".
