Question

I need to use segmented control in Android. Is there a default control for the same? What might be the best and efficient way to do so?

This will work:

<TableLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:padding="@dimen/padding_extreme"
        android:stretchColumns="*">

    <TableRow
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="@dimen/padding_very_less"
        android:background="@color/colorBlack"
        android:padding="@dimen/padding_very_less">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/seg_one"
            style="@style/barGrapButtons"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginLeft="0dp"
            android:background="@color/colorBlack"
            android:text="SegmentOne"
            android:textColor="@color/colorWhite" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/seg_two"
            style="@style/barGrapButtons"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="SegmentTwo" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/seg_three"
            style="@style/barGrapButtons"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="SegmentThree" />
    </TableRow>
</TableLayout>

res/values/styles.xml

<style name="barGrapButtons">
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/colorBlack</item>
    <item name="android:textSize">@dimen/small_text</item>
    <item name="android:gravity">center|center_horizontal</item>
    <item name="android:clickable">true</item>
    <item name="android:padding">@dimen/padding_five_dp</item>
    <item name="android:background">@color/colorWhite</item>
    <item name="android:layout_marginLeft">1dp</item>
</style>

I guess you are speaking about fragments with tabs on the top. There will be many answers if you search for Tabbed Activity. However, a simple way to start off with is

Right-click in the package - > New -> Activity - > Tabbed Activity

An activity with tabs and fragments will be automatically created which works as the flow which you have shown in the image.
