Creating line separators in paragraphs of an Android tab

Hi everyone, first post and noob in Android programming, but ready to learn! I basically took a sample google tab layout from here

I found it very easy to create tabs with text on each tab, but I'm trying to make it so that when I select the tab, I want the text below to be separated by a dividing line. So the line is divided between each paragraph, however, I am having problems with this. This is what I have so far: main.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

                           

        <TableRow>
            <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textview1"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:text="this is the FIRST line of the 1st tab" />
            <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textview1"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:text="this is the SECOND line of the 1st tab" />
            </TableRow>
            <View
    android:layout_height="2dip"
    android:background="#FF909090" />

    <TableRow>
        <TextView 
            android:id="@+id/textview2"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
            android:text="this is First line of the 2nd tab" />
            </TableRow>
            <View
    android:layout_height="2dip"
    android:background="#FF909090" />
            <View
    android:layout_height="2dip"
    android:background="#FF909090" /> 
         <TextView 
            android:id="@+id/textview3"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
            android:text="this is the First line of the 3rd tab" />
         <TextView 
            android:id="@+id/textview4"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
            android:text="This is the First line of the 4th tab." />

            </TableLayout>
     </FrameLayout>

Here is the information in the java file:

  public class HelloTabWidget extends TabActivity {

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        TabHost mTabHost = getTabHost();

 mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab_test1").setIndicator("TAB 1").setContent(R.id.textview1));       
 mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab_test2").setIndicator("TAB 2").setContent(R.id.textview2));
 mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab_test3").setIndicator("TAB 3").setContent(R.id.textview3));
 mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab_test4").setIndicator("TAB 4").setContent(R.id.textview4));
        mTabHost.setCurrentTab(0);
    }
}

main.xml " " , " " , . , , .
