[android-developers] Scrollable tabs

[Stephen Shelton]

I've got more tabs that can be expected to fit on low res screens. 6,
to be exact, and some with some longer words.

What I'd like to do is have them scroll, much as the stock music
player that came equipped on my phone (Samsung Vibrant). I've dumped
them in a scroll view, but the result is that each tab takes up as
much space as it wants, and on my phone the entire tab panel only
consumes about 80% of the width of the screen.

I'd really like all tabs to be uniform width and to scroll.

Here's what I have:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<TabHost xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
        android:id="@android:id/tabhost"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent">
        <LinearLayout
                android:orientation="vertical"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                android:padding="4dip">
                <HorizontalScrollView
                        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                        android:layout_gravity="fill_horizontal">
                        <TabWidget
                                android:id="@android:id/tabs"
                                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                                android:layout_gravity="fill_horizontal"/>
                </HorizontalScrollView>
                <FrameLayout
                        android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
                        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                        android:padding="3dip"/>
        </LinearLayout>
</TabHost>
