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

you should use a viewPager to use viewPager.setCurrentItem()

 viewPager.setCurrentItem(n);
 tabLayout.setOnTabSelectedListener(new TabLayout.OnTabSelectedListener() {
            @Override
            public void onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
                viewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition());
            }

            @Override
            public void onTabUnselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
            }

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

            }
        });

By default if you select a tab it will be highlighted. If you want to select Explicitly means use the given commented code under onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab) with your specified tab index position. This code will explains about change fragment on tab selected position using viewpager.

public class GalleryFragment extends Fragment implements TabLayout.OnTabSelectedListener 
{
private ViewPager viewPager;public ViewPagerAdapter adapter;private TabLayout tabLayout;
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_gallery, container, false);
viewPager = (ViewPager) rootView.findViewById(R.id.viewpager);
adapter = new ViewPagerAdapter(getChildFragmentManager());
adapter.addFragment(new PaymentCardFragment(), "PAYMENT CARDS");
adapter.addFragment(new LoyaltyCardFragment(), "LOYALTY CARDS");
viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
tabLayout = (TabLayout) rootView.findViewById(R.id.tabs);
    tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(viewPager);
    tabLayout.setOnTabSelectedListener(this);
}

@Override
public void onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
    //This will be called 2nd when you select a tab or swipe using viewpager
    final int position = tab.getPosition();
    Log.i("card", "Tablayout pos: " + position);
    //TabLayout.Tab tabdata=tabLayout.getTabAt(position);
    //tabdata.select();
    tabLayout.post(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            if (position == 0) {
                PaymentCardFragment paymentCardFragment = getPaymentCardFragment();
                if (paymentCardFragment != null) {
                   VerticalViewpager vp = paymentCardFragment.mypager;
                    if(vp!=null)
                    {
                      //vp.setCurrentItem(position,true);
                      vp.setCurrentItem(vp.getAdapter().getCount()-1,true);
                    }
                  }
            }
            if (position == 1) {
               LoyaltyCardFragment loyaltyCardFragment = getLoyaltyCardFragment();
                if (loyaltyCardFragment != null) {
                   VerticalViewpager vp = loyaltyCardFragment.mypager;
                    if(vp!=null)
                    {
                        vp.setCurrentItem(position);
                    }
                  }
            }
        }
    });
}

@Override
public void onTabUnselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
 //This will be called 1st when you select a tab or swipe using viewpager
}
@Override
public void onTabReselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
  //This will be called only when you select the already selected tab(Ex: selecting 3rd tab again and again)
}
 private PaymentCardFragment getLoyaltyCardFragment() {
    Fragment f = adapter.mFragmentList.get(viewPager.getCurrentItem());

   if(f instanceof PaymentCardFragment)
   {
    return (PaymentCardFragment) f;
   }
   return null;
 }
private LoyaltyCardFragment getPaymentCardFragment() {
    Fragment f = adapter.mFragmentList.get(viewPager.getCurrentItem());
    if(f instanceof LoyaltyCardFragment)
   {
    return (LoyaltyCardFragment) f;
   }
   return null;
 }
  class ViewPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
   public List<Fragment> mFragmentList = new ArrayList<>();
    private final List<String> mFragmentTitleList = new ArrayList<>();
   public void addFragment(Fragment fragment, String title) {
   mFragmentList.add(fragment);
   mFragmentTitleList.add(title);
  }
 }
}

Answer 3

TabLayout jobTabs = v.findViewById(R.id.jobTabs);
ViewPager jobFrame = v.findViewById(R.id.jobPager);
jobFrame.addOnPageChangeListener(new TabLayout.TabLayoutOnPageChangeListener(jobTabs));

this will select tab as view pager swipe page

Answer 4

Just set viewPager.setCurrentItem(index) and the associated TabLayout would select the respective tab.

Answer 5

I am using TabLayout to switch fragments. It works for the most part, except whenever I tried to select a tab programmatically using tab.select(), my TabLayout.OnTabSelectedListener would trigger the onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab), which would cause me much grief. I was looking for a way to do programmatic selection without triggering the listener.

So I adapted @kenodoggy 's answer to my use. I was further facing a problem where some of the internal objects would return null (because they weren't created yet, because I was answering onActivityResult() from my fragment, which occurs before onCreate() in the case the activity is singleTask or singleInstance) so I wrote up a detailed if/else sequence which would report the error and fall through without the NullPointerException that would otherwise trigger. I use Timber for logging, if you're not using that substitute with Log.e().

void updateSelectedTabTo(int position) {
    if (tabLayout != null){
        int selected = tabLayout.getSelectedTabPosition();
        if (selected != -1){
            TabLayout.Tab oldTab = tabLayout.getTabAt(0);
            if (oldTab != null){
                View view = oldTab.getCustomView();
                if (view != null){
                    view.setSelected(false);
                }
                else {
                    Timber.e("oldTab customView is null");
                }
            }
            else {
                Timber.e("oldTab is null");
            }
        }
        else {
            Timber.e("selected is -1");
        }
        TabLayout.Tab newTab = tabLayout.getTabAt(position);
        if (newTab != null){
            View view = newTab.getCustomView();
            if (view != null){
                view.setSelected(false);
            }
            else {
                Timber.e("newTab customView is null");
            }
        }
        else {
            Timber.e("newTab is null");
        }
    }
    else {
        Timber.e("tablayout is null");
    }
}

Here, tabLayout is my memory variable bound to the TabLayout object in my XML. And I don't use the scrolling tab feature so I removed that as well.

Kotlin fix

viewPager.currentItem = 0

tabs.setupWithViewPager(viewPager)
