title: Setting the height of the TabWidget on Android?
body: <p>I'm making an Android app that has a TabWidget along the bottom of the screen.</p>
  
  <p>I want the tabs to all be 77px (or, dp, I suppose) high.  To do this, I've added the following lines of code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;FrameLayout
          ...
          android:layout_height="77dp"
           /&gt;
  &lt;TabWidget
          ...
          android:layout_height="77dp"
           /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This elevates the tabs above their original position, however, rather than the tabs actually getting taller, there's simply white space added beneath the tabs.  <a href="http://i.stack.imgur.com/mTI8r.png" rel="nofollow">Here is a screenshot to show what I mean</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how to increase the height of an Android tab widget / tabs themselves?  Thanks in advance!</p>
