I'm pretty confused trying to create a tabbed application and could
really use some assistance...

I'm trying to create a layout (main.xml) with 4 tabs, each tab
containing a separate linear layout, which I would like to be able to
define in a separate layout xml file.  I've been able to create the 4
tabs, but can't get any content to come up for any of them, just a
blank screen.

I pretty much copied the "Hello, TabWidget" example code from Google's
Android Developers site to get the existing tabs.  By the way, I also
can't seem to use the Layout editor to edit main.xml, I can only edit
the xml itself.  I can, however, use the layout view for my other
layouts (tab1.xml, tab2.xml, tab3.xml, and tab4.xml).

THANKS FOR ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN OFFER!

This is my java code:

public class myProject extends TabActivity {
    private TabHost tabHost;

        /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        tabHost = getTabHost();

        tabHost.addTab(tabHost.newTabSpec("tab_test1").setIndicator
("Tab 1").setContent(R.layout.tab1));
        tabHost.addTab(tabHost.newTabSpec("tab_test2").setIndicator
("Tab 2").setContent(R.layout.tab2));
        tabHost.addTab(tabHost.newTabSpec("tab_test3").setIndicator
("Tab 3").setContent(R.layout.tab3));
        tabHost.addTab(tabHost.newTabSpec("tab_test4").setIndicator
("Tab 4").setContent(R.layout.tab4));

        tabHost.setCurrentTab(0);
    }


This is my main.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TabHost
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
        android:id="@android:id/tabhost"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent">
            <LinearLayout
                android:orientation="vertical"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent">
                <TabWidget
                    android:id="@android:id/tabs"
                    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
                <FrameLayout
                    android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
                    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                    android:layout_height="fill_parent">
                    <LinearLayout
                        android:id="@+layout/tab1"
                        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                        android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
                    <LinearLayout
                        android:id="@+layout/tab2"
                        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                        android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
                    <LinearLayout
                        android:id="@+layout/tab3"
                        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                        android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
                    <LinearLayout
                        android:id="@+layout/tab4"
                        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                        android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
                </FrameLayout>
            </LinearLayout>
</TabHost>

Here is an example of one of my tab layouts that I can't get to
appear:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/LinearLayout01"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";>
        <TextView
                android:id="@+id/TextView01"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:text="This is Tab 1"></TextView>
</LinearLayout>
