Question

I am stuck in my xml code

<TabWidget
                android:id="@android:id/tabs"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

I am trying to change the width to a custom set dip number but

android:layout_width="50dip"

is not making any affect to the tab width layout
any suggenstion on this one please ?

No body contributed the answer but after few hours of struggle i have found the way to
set the width of tabs in java code…
here you go, if some one may need this later

TabWidget tabWidget = (TabWidget) findViewById(android.R.id.tabs);
final int tabChildrenCount = tabWidget.getChildCount();
for (int i=0; i< tabChildrenCount; i++)
{
        // change the value 110 to whatever suits you for tab width
    tHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(i).getLayoutParams().width = 110;
}

many thanks
