How can you set a custom tab label width in Android

Question

Hello. I have a Tabhost in a horizontal scrollview that contains 8 tabs. The Label space for each tab is small and many of the labels have to scroll to be viewable. Is there anyway to make the tab labels bigger? This is my layout:

<LinearLayout   
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" 
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<LinearLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical" 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">
    <HorizontalScrollView          
        android:id="@+id/scrollNavView"          
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"          
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">  
        <TabHost 
            android:id="@android:id/tabhost"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
            android:layout_height="wrap_content">
            <LinearLayout 
                android:orientation="vertical"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                android:background="#000000">
                <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="wrap_content"
                    android:padding="5dp" 
                />
            </LinearLayout>
        </TabHost>
    </HorizontalScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
