Tabs not coming in bottom when using fragment tab host

Question

Hi I am using FragmentTabHost to display some tabs in my application. Tabs are displayed but not appearing at the bottom. Here is my layout code for activity

<android.support.v4.app.FragmentTabHost
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@android:id/tabhost"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">

<LinearLayout
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <TabWidget
        android:id="@android:id/tabs"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="0"/>

    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="0"/>

    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+android:id/realtabcontent"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"/>

</LinearLayout>

The code I used to display is taken from Android documentation. My problem is tabs are always on top and they're not appearing at the bottom

Actually it's against Android Design Guideline since at bottom there are soft/hard buttons like back button home button etc.

But if you insist on to put them at the bottom, you should tweak it, there have been an already implemented one below https://github.com/rameshkec85/BottomTabsFragmentTabHost
