Viewpager In Android With Fixed Tabs At Bottom With Icon And Text In Each Tab

I want to create the following layout - an activity with a viewpager along with a tab that stays that the bottom of the activity to indicate which of the 4 fragments the user is in

Solution 1:

I was looking for same and I saw this question, here in this answer OP says that

it's against Android Design Guideline since at bottom there are soft/hard buttons like back button home button etc.

But if you insist on to put them at the bottom, you can implement it like GitHub example consists tabs in bottom, using FragmentTabHost.

So even I am considering it.
