To answer my own question, it will take a few steps to achieve this. First you need to create your own custom action bar in an seperate XML file. Then you need to apply a "NoActionBar" Theme to the activity that you want to put the action bar with silding tabs in. Then you need to write in Java that you want to set the action bar in that particular activity to your own custom action bar. Then I believe, don't quote me, you need to add the sliding tabs in the action bar layout file along with the view pager. Obviously there are a lot of steps and it is very hard to explain them in this way. SlideNerd has a superb set of video tutorials on how to do this in case you're a visual learner. Custom

MAKE SURE YOU PLACE THIS CODE AT THE BOTTOM OF onCreate(): toolbar= (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.job_list_toolbar); setSupportActionBar(toolbar); if(getSupportActionBar()!=null) { getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true); } My problem was that I had some code in onCreate() that modified the toolbar buttons.
