You can use the attribute android:layout of TabItem to set custom view. In custom view xml file, remember to set id of icon and text view to @android:id/icon and android:id="@android:id/text1", then the library will take care the rest.

Here's an example:

. custom_tab_item.xml

. main.xml

Hope this help.
