Theme.Holo doesn't show Tabhost Widget icons

Question

I'm using Theme.Holo as my parent theme for an application. However, the tabs in the tab host don't display icons. In order to display icons, I can change the theme to Theme.Light or just Theme, but then I won't have the action bar that comes with Theme.Holo.

Could someone please tell me how I could display icons on the tab host when using Theme.Holo? I'm referring to the iOS-like tab bar icons.

Dont know if this solves your problem, but if you remove the text, the icon will be displayed.

This is the code I use:

TabHost tabHost = getTabHost();
Intent intent = new Intent().setClass(this, Overview.class);

spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("overview")
           .setIndicator(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 11 ? this.getString(R.string.descr) : "", res.getDrawable(R.drawable.tab_overview))
           .setContent(intent);
