Solution

You need to use ActionBar Tabs, a TabsAdapter and a ViewPager (scrolly bit). Here's a full tutorial I made: http://davidjkelley.net/?p=34 (just use the ABS imports, not standard compatibility library ones).

Here's some of the relevant code:

import java.util.ArrayList;
import android.app.ActionBar;
import android.app.ActionBar.Tab;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuInflater;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.MenuItem.OnMenuItemClickListener;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentPagerAdapter;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentTransaction;
import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager;
import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener;
public class Polling extends FragmentActivity {
private ViewPager mViewPager;
private TabsAdapter mTabsAdapter;
private final static String TAG = "21st Polling:";

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

mViewPager = new ViewPager(this);
mViewPager.setId(R.id.pager);
setContentView(mViewPager);
final ActionBar bar = getActionBar();
bar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
bar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
bar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false);

mTabsAdapter = new TabsAdapter(this, mViewPager);
mTabsAdapter.addTab(bar.newTab().setText(R.string.login),
LoginFragment.class, null);
mTabsAdapter.addTab(bar.newTab().setText(R.string.economics),
EconFragment.class, null);
mTabsAdapter.addTab(bar.newTab().setText(R.string.elections),
ElectionsFragment.class, null);
mTabsAdapter.addTab(bar.newTab().setText(R.string.politics),
PoliticsFragment.class, null);
mTabsAdapter.addTab(bar.newTab().setText(R.string.science),
ScienceFragment.class, null);
mTabsAdapter.addTab(bar.newTab().setText(R.string.finance),
FinanceFragment.class, null);
mTabsAdapter.addTab(bar.newTab().setText(R.string.religion),
ReligionFragment.class, null);
mTabsAdapter.addTab(bar.newTab().setText(R.string.military),
MilitaryFragment.class, null);
mTabsAdapter.addTab(bar.newTab().setText(R.string.international),
InternationalFragment.class, null);
}

public static class TabsAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter
    implements ActionBar.TabListener, ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener {
        private final Context mContext;
        private final ActionBar mActionBar;
        private final ViewPager mViewPager;
        private final ArrayList<TabInfo> mTabs = new ArrayList<TabInfo>();

        static final class TabInfo {
            private final Class<?> clss;
            private final Bundle args;

            TabInfo(Class<?> _class, Bundle _args) {
                clss = _class;
                args = _args;
            }
        }

        public TabsAdapter(FragmentActivity activity, ViewPager pager) {
            super(activity.getSupportFragmentManager());
            mContext = activity;
            mActionBar = activity.getActionBar();
            mViewPager = pager;
            mViewPager.setAdapter(this);
            mViewPager.setOnPageChangeListener(this);
        }

        public void addTab(ActionBar.Tab tab, Class<?> clss, Bundle args) {
            TabInfo info = new TabInfo(clss, args);
            tab.setTag(info);
            tab.setTabListener(this);
            mTabs.add(info);
            mActionBar.addTab(tab);
            notifyDataSetChanged();
        }


        public int getCount() {
            return mTabs.size();
        }

        public Fragment getItem(int position) {
            TabInfo info = mTabs.get(position);
            return Fragment.instantiate(mContext, info.clss.getName(), info.args);
        }


        public void onPageScrolled(int position, float positionOffset, int positionOffsetPixels) {
        }


        public void onPageSelected(int position) {
            mActionBar.setSelectedNavigationItem(position);
        }


        public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int state) {
        }


        public void onTabSelected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
            mViewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition());
            Log.v(TAG, "clicked");
            Object tag = tab.getTag();
            for (int i=0; i<mTabs.size(); i++) {
                if (mTabs.get(i) == tag) {
                    mViewPager.setCurrentItem(i);
                }
            }
        }

        public void onTabUnselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {}

        public void onTabReselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {}

        public void onTabReselected(Tab tab, android.app.FragmentTransaction ft) {}

        @Override
        public void onTabSelected(Tab tab, android.app.FragmentTransaction ft) {    
            Object tag = tab.getTag();
            for (int i=0; i<mTabs.size(); i++) {
                if (mTabs.get(i) == tag) {
                    mViewPager.setCurrentItem(i);
                }
            }
        }

        public void onTabUnselected(Tab tab, android.app.FragmentTransaction ft) {}
    }
