ActionBar tabs height

This is how you style the tabs. Although, I was having trouble actually getting the height to change. I'm not sure you can set a height via a Style to the TabView. You may have to create custom View and apply that to your tabs in your code. All the styles and attributes you need to reference are in the SDK. Look in the Values folder of the platform version you're working with. That's how I typically find out how to do this.
<style name="Widget.Holo.Tab" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar.TabView">
<item name="android:height">#dp</item>
</style>
<style name="Your.Theme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light">
<item name="android:actionBarTabStyle">@style/Widget.Holo.Tab</item>
</style>
Solution 2
You have to change the height of the actionbar in order to change the height of the tabs.
theme.xml
<style name="YourTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo">
<item name="android:actionBarTabStyle">@style/tab_nav</item>
<item name="android:actionBarTabTextStyle">@style/tab_nav_text</item>
<item name="android:actionBarSize">80dp</item>
..
</style>

Vince V. about 11 yearsFrom where is the tab_nav and tab_nav_text ?

Felix about 11 yearsThat are styles which you'll have to define on your own :) So, just placeholder.

htafoya over 10 yearsIt works but then it also changes the height of the title bar, so it looks kind'a weird.

Devrath about 10 yearsYes ! .... If the actionbar is splitted .... titlebar,tab,splittedbar all height change ... so this is not a feasible solution,... According to question .... only the height of tabs must be changed ... But Good to know this option

Noam Nelke almost 9 yearsThis just changes the height of the
actionBar
, and pushes the tabs up/down, but they stay the same height
