Here I have two class file one to display table layout whereas another to display TabLayout.Below is my main.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">

<TableLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:padding="7dp">
<TextView  
android:id="@+id/item_title"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:padding="2dp"
android:textSize="10dp" />
<TableRow 
    android:id="@+id/tableRow1"
           android:layout_width="fill_parent"
           android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
            <TextView android:text="" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1" android:minWidth="40dp" android:background="@drawable/top_left" android:textColor="#ffffffff"/>

<TabHost

</LinearLayout>
</TabHost>
</TableLayout>
 </LinearLayout>

Answer 1

You have given the width and height of your tablelayout as fill-parent.So it would probably occupy the whole space of your linearlayout. Instead of fill-parent you have to use wrap-content. In tabhost you use the property android:layout_below="@+id/yourTableLayout".
