A TabHost children are shown/hidden as you flip tabs. If you are
building an iPhone clone app with a button bar on the bottom, just
simply put below the TabHost.
My layout that uses this pattern looks like this. I have a TabHost
and an always visible status bar.
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical">
<TabHost android:id="@android:id/tabhost"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0px"
android:layout_weight="1">
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TabWidget android:id="@android:id/tabs"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<FrameLayout android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0px"
android:layout_weight="1">
<FrameLayout android:id="@+id/page1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
</FrameLayout>
<FrameLayout android:id="@+id/page2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
</FrameLayout>
<FrameLayout android:id="@+id/page3"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
</FrameLayout>
</FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</TabHost>
<FrameLayout android:id="@+id/status_bar"
</FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>
