Android - Google Play like tabs

Question

Google has just implemented a new look to their tabs in Google Play.

I know this can be done with ViewPagerIndicator, yet I wouldn't like to use another library in my application and bump the app's size by another MB or so.

I am currently using the android.support.v4.view.PagerTabStrip (like in the old Google Play), and I'm wondering if the new look can also be implemented using the android support library.

Thanks in advance.

Design Support Library (current method).

The Design Support Library includes the TabLayout widget which allows you to implement a Google Play-lie tabs:

<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout     android:id="@+id/tabs"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> 

and then initializing it:

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

For a full example see the Cheesesquare app

PagerSlidingTabStrip Library

This is a ready-to-use library that you can find on Github.
