Here the code for changing the size of tab

 Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
        int width = display.getWidth();
        
        setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

       TabHost mTabHost = getTabHost();
      
       mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab_test1")
               .setIndicator((""),getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.mzl_05))
         .setContent(new Intent(this, NearBy.class)));
       mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab_test2")
               .setIndicator((""),getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.mzl_08))
         .setContent(new Intent(this, SearchBy.class)));
               mTabHost.setCurrentTab(0);
               mTabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(0).setLayoutParams(new
                 LinearLayout.LayoutParams((width/2)-2,50));
          mTabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(1).setLayoutParams(new
                     LinearLayout.LayoutParams((width/2)-2,50));
