You can now do this out-of-the-box in the Android Compatibility library with a ViewPager: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2011/08/horizontal-view-swiping-with-viewpager.html?m=1

ViewPager slides between Fragments much the same way ListViews scroll up and down with views.

If you're not interested in scrolling the tabs, there's an example in the SDK that uses a TabHost (instead of making the tabs themselves scrollable left-to-right), but you need not use a TabHost. You could, if you wanted horizontally-scrolling tabs, use a HorizontalScrollView with some buttons in it.

For an approach that doesn't use the compatibility lib, or fragments, see here: https://github.com/olibye/AndroViews
