Rounded corners for TABS in android

Question

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

Answer 1

This code are for 2 tabs in tablayout:

One is selected and two is unselected mode

Drawable xml:

When selecting Left tab:

tabselectionleft:

notabselectionleft:

When selecting right tab:

tabselectionright:

notabselectionright:

In main layout tablayout decelartion

Calling this drawable should happen programmatically as shown below:

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_simple_tabs);
 viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.viewpager);
        setupViewPager(viewPager);

        tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tabs);
        tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(viewPager);
        firstTab = ((ViewGroup)    tabLayout.getChildAt(0)).getChildAt(0);
        secondTab = ((ViewGroup) tabLayout.getChildAt(0)).getChildAt(1);
        tabLayout.setOnTabSelectedListener(this);

        firstTab.setBackground(getDrawable(R.drawable.tabselectionleft));

        secondTab.setBackground(getDrawable(R.drawable.notabselectionleft));



    }
public void onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {

        viewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition());

        int selectedTabPosition = tab.getPosition();

        if (selectedTabPosition == 0)
        { // that means first tab
            firstTab.setBackground(getDrawable(R.drawable.tabselectionleft));
                  secondTab.setBackground(getDrawable(R.drawable.notabselectionleft));


        } else if (selectedTabPosition == 1)
        { // that means it's a last tab

            firstTab.setBackground(getDrawable(R.drawable.notabselectionright));
            secondTab.setBackground(getDrawable(R.drawable.tabselectionright));


        }
