Can TabHost be used in another Android element?

Question

I am trying to configure the tab host as a layout element. All the examples I've seen display TabHost on their own in the view. The examples work fine, but when I try to make it part of another layout, it doesn't seem to work. I never found the documentation pointing anyway.

Something like this works (not all code is shown for illustration):

            <TabHost>
                    <LinearLayout>
                        <TabWidget/>
                        <FrameLayout>
                            <TextView
                                android:text="this is a tab" />
                            <TextView
                                android:text="this is another tab" />
                            <TextView
                                android:text="this is a third tab" />
                        </FrameLayout>
                    </LinearLayout>
            </TabHost>

However, this does not work:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

                                                                                                       

Am I doing something wrong or is it simply impossible?

This is my onCreate method:

public class MyActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       setContentView(R.layout.main);       

    }
}

Is there anything you need to install there?

When I say that this does not work, I mean that after starting the application in the emulator I get a pop-up message: "The application xxx (process com.example) stopped unexpectedly. Try again."
