The ActionBar with Tabs has been deprecated. I built a new ToolBar with PagerTabStrip that works, but haven't had a chance to push it to github yet,and with the fix I made, it isn't returning from the Login to the MainActivity (yet).

However after I tracked that all down, and built it, I found this reference where someone got it to work with an ActionBar and PagerTabStrip.

You might want to keep that link handy, as the Meme Maker in Android Data Persistence uses the same navigation. I also rebuilt the 'Starter Kit' to the Meme Maker, but also have not pushed it to github yet.

If you look at your code in main activity java, all the stuff about tabs will be crossed out in Android Studio.

The tab part doesn't work anymore because it's deprecated, and they made a new way to do tabs.

I will probably answer more later if you got what I said this time. What language do you read?
