Answer 1

What do you mean by unselected. Can you share an image of what you are trying to achieve and where you are at now..

I wouldn't recommend your approach. It does a lot of things which are not needed to solve your problem. I suggest making use of the icon and text from the TabLayout class and just set your icons(drawables with states) and text. Or, even a custom layout if required, but making use of the text1 and icon from the TabLayout. Do you have any issues doing this?

Update..

Try the below:

IconTextTabLayout.java:

package example.customtabs;

import android.content.Context;
import android.support.annotation.NonNull;
import android.support.design.widget.TabLayout;
import android.support.v4.view.PagerAdapter;
import android.util.AttributeSet;

import sample.customtabs.example.com.customtabs.R;


public class IconTextTabLayout extends TabLayout {


    public IconTextTabLayout(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public IconTextTabLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public IconTextTabLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
    }

    @Override
    public void setTabsFromPagerAdapter(@NonNull PagerAdapter adapter) {
        this.removeAllTabs();
        int i = 0;
        for (int count = adapter.getCount(); i < count; ++i) {
            this.addTab(this.newTab().setCustomView(R.layout.custom_tab)
                    .setIcon(YourIcons[i])
                    .setText(adapter.getPageTitle(i)));
        }
    }
}

custom_tab.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">


    <ImageView
        android:id="@android:id/icon"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

    <TextView
        android:id="@android:id/text1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

</LinearLayout>

In Your activity xml use IconTextTabLayout. Like :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
              xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
              android:layout_width="match_parent"
              android:layout_height="match_parent"
              android:orientation="vertical">

    <example.customtabs.IconTextTabLayout
        android:id="@+id/sliding_tabs"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:tabMode="scrollable"/>

    <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
        android:id="@+id/viewpager"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0px"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:background="@android:color/white"/>

</LinearLayout>

also, set view pager to it in your activity like :

IconTextTabLayout tabLayout = (IconTextTabLayout) findViewById(R.id.sliding_tabs);
tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(viewPager);

Override getPageTitle in your viewpager adapter to provide title.

@Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
    return TITLES[i];
}

Additionally, if you want you can get icons too from the adapter by writing a method that returns drawables, just like the getPageTitle method. That's optional. Just a matter of design.

YourIcons[] = This is an array of drawables. In your case - xml files, with selected and non-selected images...

Answer 2

Instead of customizing the TabLayout as specified by @Abhilash answer just add a line i.e. tabOne.setSelected(true); in below code

TextView tabOne = (TextView) LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.custom_tab, null);
tabOne.setText("ONE");
tabOne.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(0, R.drawable.image1, 0, 0);
tabOne.setSelected(true);  //This will make your tab by default selected
tabLayout.getTabAt(0).setCustomView(tabOne);
