android.support.design.widget.TabLayout select Tab Programmatically

Question

I am using android.support.design.widget.TabLayout. It has two tabs, If user selects second tab On particular condition I want user to redirect to first tab and disallow him to go to sencond tab until condition matches. To achieve this I tried,

tabLayout.getTabAt(0).select();  

but it does not reselect first tab

Answer 1

This is because that view is still not initialized properly, and you are trying to perform some action.

As a solution you just need to put one hadler before selecting perticular tab.

new Handler().postDelayed(     new Runnable(){         @Override         public void run() {             tabLayout.getTabAt(yourTabIndex).select();         } }, 100); 

Answer 2

This is how I solved it:

tabLayout.getTabAt(CurrentItem).getCustomView().setSelected(true);
