Question

I need to separate tab buttons with space, I tried to set margin to views and then add them as tabs, but it does not work, I also thought of adding empty view as divider, but haven’t tried it yet, is there any standard way of doing this, or any tweak that can achieve same effect?

Thanks!

Here’s the way:

TabWidget tabWidget = (TabWidget) findViewById(android.R.id.tabs);
final int tabChildrenCount = tabWidget.getChildCount();
View currentView;
for (int i = 0; i < tabChildrenCount; i++) {
    currentView = tabWidget.getChildAt(i);
    LinearLayout.LayoutParams currentLayout =
        (LinearLayout.LayoutParams) currentView.getLayoutParams();
    currentLayout.setMargins(0, 5, 5, 0);
}
tabWidget.requestLayout();
