title: How to display buttons above tab widget on Android?
body: <p>I'm trying to add buttons above a tab-widget but they are always displayed under the tab-widget's tabs. The buttons are displayed on front layer so that they appear on each tab.</p>
  
  <p>Does anybody have an idea is it possible at all to display any widgets above the tab-widget? </p>
  
  <p>Here's an example layout to give some idea on the placement of the widgets. Note: this layout is not functional.</p>

  <pre><code>&lt;ImageButton
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:src="@android:drawable/sym_action_chat" /&gt;  
  
  &lt;ImageButton
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:src="@android:drawable/sym_action_email" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p></p>
  
  <p><br>
  </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;TextView android:id="@+id/view1"
      android:background="@drawable/blue"
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:layout_height="fill_parent"
      android:text="@string/tabs_1_tab_1"/&gt;
  
  &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/view2"
      android:background="@drawable/red"
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:layout_height="fill_parent"
      android:text="@string/tabs_1_tab_2"/&gt;
  
  &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/view3"
      android:background="@drawable/green"
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:layout_height="fill_parent"
      android:text="@string/tabs_1_tab_3"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>      </p>
