The android:layout_alignParentBottom = "true" works only if the TabWidget is inside a RelativeLayout..

<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">

<TabWidget android:id="@android:id/tabs"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_alignParentBottom = "true" 
 android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

<FrameLayout android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="fill_parent"> 
</RelativeLayout>

Just put the TabWidget after the FrameLayout.

And use android:tabStripEnabled="false" to hide the strip under the tabwidget because it looks ugly when it's on the bottom.
