I'm trying to implement this application. At the moment I have designed tabs on it and since I have more than 7 tabs it looks too congested. How can I design it so that the tabwidget is scrollable horizontally. I have seen this design on few of the apps at the market but no clue how to implement this in my app.

One app I saw had a horizontal scrollview where it scrolls on its own and when you press the particular image/button it displays some content. It didn't seem to be tabs I guess.

So does anyone have an idea of this?
