How to change the font size of tabhost in android

Question

How can the font size of the tabs be changed? I extend TabActivity for the tabs.

Answer 1

Its not pretty but try this Dirty Fix :

TabWidget tw = (TabWidget)tabHost.findViewById(android.R.id.tabs);
View tabView = tw.getChildTabViewAt(0);
TextView tv = (TextView)tabView.findViewById(android.R.id.title);
tv.setTextSize(20);

or

 //Do this to hack font size of title text
 LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout) tabHost.getChildAt(0);
 TabWidget tw = (TabWidget) ll.getChildAt(0);

 // for changing the text size of first tab
 RelativeLayout rllf = (RelativeLayout) tw.getChildAt(0);
 TextView lf = (TextView) rllf.getChildAt(1);
 lf.setTextSize(21);
 lf.setPadding(0, 0, 0, 6);
