Workaround for the absence TabSpec.setIndicator(View view) on Android API level <4

Question

I need to use my custom view for the indicators of my TabHost. IN Android api level >=4 no problem but in the Android api level <4 this method is not implemented. Any suggestion?

I was thinking to implement this method but unfortunately the TabHost class does not allow changes because has all attributes private and not protected.

Thanks.
