How to add padding to a tabs label?

Question

I just started programming for android. I\'m using a tab based layout in my app. I would like to put some padding around the tab label so that it\'s not so close to the icon

Answer 1

A simpler solution is :

 for (int i = 0; i < tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildCount(); i++) {
     tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(i).setPadding(10,10,10,10); 
 }
