If you don’t want something more complicated than just scrolling tabs with arrows you can wrap your TabWidget by HorizontalScrollView and LinearLayout.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TabHost
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    params="...">
    <LinearLayout
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent">
            <LinearLayout>
                 <ImageView
                     params="..."/>
                 <HorizontalScrollView
                     params="...">
                      <TabWidget
                          params="..." />
                 </HorizontalScrollView>
                 <ImageView
                     params="..."/>
            </LinearLayout>
        <FrameLayout
            android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
            params="..." />
    </LinearLayout>
</TabHost>

And in code you should set OnScrollListener for HorizontalScrollView to disappear ImageView of arrows
