tabspec

I have a TabHost with a bunch of tabs each with a TabSpec. I'd like to change the content of one of the TabSpecs but I don't seem to be able to.

I've read a few places that it's not possible to change the content of a TabSpec.

Does anyone know why I can add/remove tabs but not change the content of them? And can anyone suggest a workaround for this problem?
