You can achieve your task with the following very easily. Firstly create new XML under Layout Folder. Give it name [custom_tab_view] then paste the below code.

And now went to your ViewPageAdapter and Replace your Function [CharSequence] with below code.

 // This method return the titles for the Tabs in the Tab Strip
    @Override
    public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
        //return Titles[position];
        Drawable image = mContext.getResources().getDrawable(imageResId[position]);
        image.setBounds(0, 0, image.getIntrinsicWidth(), image.getIntrinsicHeight());
        //image.setBounds(0, 0, 64, 64);
        ImageSpan imageSpan = new ImageSpan(image, ImageSpan.ALIGN_BOTTOM);
        SpannableString sb = new SpannableString(" ");
        sb.setSpan(imageSpan, 0, sb.length(), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);


        return sb;
    }

and in the MainActivity under OnCreate put this line if it is not already there.

SlidingTabLayout tabs;
tabs.setCustomTabView(R.layout.custom_tab_view, R.id.tabText);


                                                 Hope it answer the Question.
