How to align your TabHost at the bottom of the screen

There is a simplest way to align Tabbar at the bottom of the page.
The code is given below copy and download the code and try it...

In the previous example we learned a simple example to add Tabs to our application.Only a small change can give you tabs at the bottom of the page.

In the previous example the xml was like this...
 

<TabHost xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@android:id/tabhost"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical" >

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

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

    </LinearLayout>

Instead of using Linear Layout use Relative Layout like below and use "android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"" for Tab Widget.
 
<TabHost xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@android:id/tabhost"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

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


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

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

</TabHost>
