I want to achieve rounded corners for the tab that I\'ve constructed in my application. So far I was able to come up with this
Created alternate shapes to solve the problem
Note: These xml files are in addition to the two mentioned.
SELECTED TAB ALTERNATE.XML
UNSELECTED TAB ALTERNATE.XML
Afterwards, add this in your tab selection listener.
@Override
public void onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
viewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition());
int selectedTabPosition = tab.getPosition();
View firstTab = ((ViewGroup) tabLayout.getChildAt(0)).getChildAt(0);
View secondTab = ((ViewGroup) tabLayout.getChildAt(0)).getChildAt(1);
if (selectedTabPosition == 0)
{ // that means first tab
firstTab.setBackground(getDrawable(R.drawable.selected_tab));
secondTab.setBackground(getDrawable(R.drawable.unselected_tab));
} else if (selectedTabPosition == 1)
{ // that means it's a last tab
firstTab.setBackground(getDrawable(R.drawable.selected_tab_alternate));
secondTab.setBackground(getDrawable(R.drawable.unselected_tab_alternate));
}
}
