TabLayout (Android Design Library) Text Color

Question

I\'m using the new TabLayout from the Android Design library. I managed to set the textcolor statelist using tabLayout.setTabTextColors(colorstatelist)

How can i ac

Answer 1

Via XML attributes:

Additionally, there are attributes like tabIndicatorColor or tabIndicatorHeight for further styling.

In code:

tabLayout.setTabTextColors(
    getResources().getColor(R.color.your_unselected_text_color),
    getResources().getColor(R.color.your_selected_text_color)
);

Since this old way is deprecated as of API 23, the alternative is:

tabLayout.setTabTextColors(
    ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.your_unselected_text_color),
    ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.your_selected_text_color)
);
