Question

I am trying to have scrollable tabs in android. I tried to apply a HorizontalScrollView to the TabWidget, but it didn’t work.
Any ideas why it does not work?

Here is the main.xml:

<?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">
    <HorizontalScrollView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:fillViewport="true"
                android:scrollbars="none">
      <TabWidget android:id="@android:id/tabs"
                 android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                 android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
    </HorizontalScrollView>
    <FrameLayout android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
                 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                 android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
  </LinearLayout>
</TabHost>

Try this it is working for me:-

 <HorizontalScrollView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:fillViewport="true"
                    android:scrollbars="none">
    <LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical"
                    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                    android:layout_height="fill_parent">

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

        <FrameLayout android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
                     android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                     android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
      </LinearLayout>
      </HorizontalScrollView>
