How to adjust the height and bold the text of the tab's in android programmatically?

Can someone tell me how should i adjust the height of my three tabs's diagrammatically rather than in xml because my picture overlaps the wording therefore i had to adjust my tab's slightly longer开发者_如何学编程 but width still remain the same... And how should i bold the text string in the indicator at the same time? But how should i do that in my current context of code i'm rather in android..
