[android-beginners] How do I split up or separate large XML layout files

[Litho23]

My example is using the Tab layout (just consider the HelloTab one)
the main.xml contains the views for all the tabs.  Is their a way to
separate or reference another xml file so my main.xml doesn't look
like spaghetti at the end?

Below is the main.xml from the Hello TabWdiget...

<?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">
            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/textview1"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                android:text="this is a tab" />
            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/textview2"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                android:text="this is another tab" />
            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/textview3"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                android:text="this is a third tab" />
        </FrameLayout>
    </LinearLayout>
</TabHost>


I want to turn that into...

<?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">
           &Tab1.xml
           &Tab2.xml
           &Tab3.xml
        </FrameLayout>
    </LinearLayout>
</TabHost>
