[mono-android] Using multiple layouts

[Tomasz Cielecki]

Hey Paul,

You should be able to set the Enabled property on a tab.

So when the app starts you have the tabs shown but they are disabled, and
when the data arrives to the application you can enable them from your
logic by getting the TabHost somehow and telling it to enable the tabs.
I.e.:

    TabHost.GetChildAt(index).Enabled = false;

You can get the tabhost from an activity inside one of the tabs by getting
the parent.

    TabHost tabhost = ((TabActivity)this.Parent).TabHost;

Hope this helps you.
