Stephen use this to move your tab on top of the screen in tour tabhost

<TabWidget
    android:id="@android:id/tabs"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_weight="0" >
</TabWidget>

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"

    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
