TabLayout tab selection

Question

How should I select a tab in TabLayout programmatically?

 TabLayout tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tabs);
 tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(viewPager         


        

Answer 1

A combined solution from different answers is:

new Handler().postDelayed(() -> {

  myViewPager.setCurrentItem(position, true);

  myTabLayout.setScrollPosition(position, 0f, true);
},
100);

Answer 2

if u are using TabLayout without viewPager this helps

 mTitles = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.tabItems);
    mIcons = getResources().obtainTypedArray(R.array.tabIcons);
    for (int i = 0; i < mTitles.length; i++) {

        tabs.addTab(tabs.newTab().setText(mTitles[i]).setIcon(mIcons.getDrawable(i)));
        if (i == 0) {
            /*For setting selected position 0 at start*/
            Objects.requireNonNull(Objects.requireNonNull(tabs.getTabAt(i)).getIcon()).setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(getApplicationContext(), R.color.colorPrimary), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
        }
    }

    tabs.addOnTabSelectedListener(new TabLayout.OnTabSelectedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
            Objects.requireNonNull(tab.getIcon()).setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(getApplicationContext(), R.color.colorPrimary), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
        }

        @Override
        public void onTabUnselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
            Objects.requireNonNull(tab.getIcon()).setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(getApplicationContext(), R.color.white), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
        }

        @Override
        public void onTabReselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {

        }
    });

Answer 3

Try this way.

tabLayout.setTabTextColors(getResources().getColor(R.color.colorHintTextLight),
                           getResources().getColor(R.color.colorPrimaryTextLight));

Answer 4

Use this:

tabs.getTabAt(index).select();

Answer 5

This can help too

viewPager.addOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener() {
    @Override
    public void onPageScrolled(int i, float v, int i1) {
    }

    @Override
    public void onPageSelected(int i) {
        tablayout.getTabAt(i).select();
    }

    @Override
    public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int i) {
    }
});

Answer 6

This is how I solved it:

void selectPage(int pageIndex){
    tabLayout.setScrollPosition(pageIndex,0f,true);
    viewPager.setCurrentItem(pageIndex);
}
