I have used `TabLayout` from the latest design support library in my app. The tabs are attached to a viewpager which loads the fragments for each tab. I want to disable all the tabs until the viewpager loads the fragment for user selected tab. I am not able to disable the tablayout or make it non-clickable. I had used `setEnabled(false)` and `setClickable(false)` but it is not working. I am able to make it invisible by using `setVisiblity(View.GONE)` but I want the tabs to be visible at all times. 

```
    tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tabLayout);
    tabLayout.setTabGravity(TabLayout.GRAVITY_FILL);
    tabLayout.setTabMode(TabLayout.MODE_FIXED);
    tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setIcon(R.drawable.near_me_hover).setTag(1));
    tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setIcon(R.drawable.all_hostels).setTag(2));
    tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setIcon(R.drawable.top_five).setTag(3));
    tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setIcon(R.drawable.advanced_search).setTag(4));
    tabLayout.setEnabled(false);
    tabLayout.setClickable(false);

```
