android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_marginBottom="62dp" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TabWidget
android:id="@android:id/tabs"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
</TabWidget>
<FrameLayout
android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/tab1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
</LinearLayout>
</FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</TabHost>
Class File :::
public class Class_Home_Page extends Activity {
TabHost tbHost_Home_Page;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_home_page);
tbHost_Home_Page = (TabHost) findViewById(R.id.tabhost);
TabSpec contacts = tbHost_Home_Page.newTabSpec("Contacts");
contacts.setIndicator("Contacts", getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.contacts));
Intent contactsIntent = new Intent(this, Class_Contacts.class);
contacts.setContent(contactsIntent);
TabSpec add_contact = tbHost_Home_Page.newTabSpec("Add Contact");
contacts.setIndicator("Add Contact", getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.addcontact));
Intent addContactIntent = new Intent(this, Class_Add_Contact.class);
contacts.setContent(addContactIntent);
TabSpec delete_contact = tbHost_Home_Page.newTabSpec("Delete Contact");
contacts.setIndicator("Delete Contact", getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.deletecontact));
Intent deleteContactIntent = new Intent(this, Class_Delete_Contact.class);
contacts.setContent(deleteContactIntent);
tbHost_Home_Page.addTab(contacts); // Line with Exception
tbHost_Home_Page.addTab(add_contact);
tbHost_Home_Page.addTab(delete_contact);
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_home_page, menu);
return true;
}
}
This is the Exception that I get :::

What could be the problem?
Changed the code as suggested.. By still I get the error...
public class Class_Home_Page extends Activity {
TabHost tbHost_Home_Page;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_home_page);
tbHost_Home_Page = (TabHost) findViewById(R.id.tabhost);
TabSpec contacts = tbHost_Home_Page.newTabSpec("Contacts");
contacts.setIndicator("Contacts", getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.contacts));
Intent contactsIntent = new Intent(this, Class_Contacts.class);
contacts.setContent(contactsIntent);
TabSpec add_contact = tbHost_Home_Page.newTabSpec("Add Contact");
add_contact.setIndicator("Add Contact", getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.addcontact));
Intent addContactIntent = new Intent(this, Class_Add_Contact.class);
add_contact.setContent(addContactIntent);
TabSpec delete_contact = tbHost_Home_Page.newTabSpec("Delete Contact");
delete_contact.setIndicator("Delete Contact", getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.deletecontact));
Intent deleteContactIntent = new Intent(this, Class_Delete_Contact.class);
delete_contact.setContent(deleteContactIntent);
tbHost_Home_Page.addTab(contacts);
tbHost_Home_Page.addTab(add_contact);
tbHost_Home_Page.addTab(delete_contact);
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_home_page, menu);
return true;
}
}
Here is the error.. at the same line

you forget to set setContent and setIndicator for add_contact and delete_contact . change your code as :
TabSpec add_contact = tbHost_Home_Page.newTabSpec("Add Contact");
// use add_contact instead of contacts
add_contact.setIndicator("Add Contact",
getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.addcontact));
Intent addContactIntent = new Intent(this, Class_Contacts.class);
// use add_contact instead of contacts
add_contact.setContent(addContactIntent);
TabSpec delete_contact = tbHost_Home_Page.newTabSpec("Delete Contact");
// use delete_contact instead of contacts
delete_contact.setIndicator("Delete Contact",
getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.deletecontact));
Intent deleteContactIntent = new Intent(this, Class_Contacts.class);
// use delete_contact instead of contacts
delete_contact.setContent(deleteContactIntent);
