How do I remove the selected tab indicator from the TabWidget?

Question

Here's what I'd like to remove :

How do I replace the indicator showing which tab is currently shown as well as the blue line that spans the entire tabwidget?

To Specify: All I want indicating which tab is selected is this :

• tab_button_active.9.png should be shown as background if the tab is SELECTED
• tab_button_inactive.9.png should be shown as the background if the tab is NOT SELECTED.

edit : Setting tabStripEnabled to false has no effect. Adding a style to it and having "@android:style/Widget.Holo.ActionBar" as its parent is also not possible since im targetting API level 7 and the ActionBar was implemented in API level 11.

I have yet another hack.

    TabLayout tabLayout = (TabLayout) fragmentView.findViewById(R.id.tabs);     tabLayout.setSelectedTabIndicatorHeight(0); 

It's basically the same idea as Eleojasmil's.

This line app:tabIndicatorHeight="0dp" solve the problem for me in xml

 <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout         android:id="@+id/view_bottom_tabLayout"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         app:tabIndicatorHeight="0dp"             //this line         app:tabGravity="fill"         app:tabMode="fixed" />
