put a picture on tabHost

Question

I created a host tab and I would only put an image on a tab. I found this method:

    tabHost.addTab(tabHost.newTabSpec("Tab 1").setContent(R.id.tab1)
            .setIndicator("Tab 1",getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.book)));

that provides text and image, but no good. How should I do?

EDIT

I tried putting in main.xml:

                   <LinearLayout
                        android:id="@+id/tab1"
                        android:layout_width="match_parent"
                        android:layout_height="match_parent" >

                        <ImageView 
                            android:id="@+id/x2"
                            android:src="@drawable/book"
                            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />



                    </LinearLayout>

I put in the activity the following statement:

    tabHost.addTab(tabHost.newTabSpec("Tab 1").setContent(R.id.tab1));

but the program go crash...

the image is "book.png", contained in the res, as currently seen accompanied by the word "tab 1" — Antilope, Jun 12 '12 at 09:25
tabHost.addTab(tabHost.newTabSpec("Tab 1").setContent(R.id.tab1) .setIndicator("",getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.book))); — Jeris, Jun 12 '12 at 09:28
