How to get current selected tab index in TabLayout?

Question

When I use ActionBar tabs, I use this code.

private int getCurrentTabIndex() {     ActionBar actionBar = activity.getSupportActionBar();     ActionBar.Tab selectedTab = actionBar.getSelectedTab();     if(selectedTab == null){         return 0;     }      return selectedTab.getPosition(); } 

But how can I do it using TabLayout?

Answer 1

Use OnTabSelectedListener.

And then in this listener get the getPosition().

Something like this:

tabLayout.setOnTabSelectedListener(new TabLayout.OnTabSelectedListener(){     @Override     public void onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab){         int position = tab.getPosition();     } }); 

UPDATE

This method setOnTabSelectedListener() is deprecated . Use addOnTabSelectedListener(OnTabSelectedListener)

Answer 2

setOnTabSelectedListener is now deprecated. you can use addOnTabSelectedListener instead. To remove the listener you can use removeOnTabSelectedListener

 mTabLayout.addOnTabSelectedListener(new TabLayout.OnTabSelectedListener() {         @Override         public void onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {             int position = tab.getPosition();         }          @Override         public void onTabUnselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {         }          @Override         public void onTabReselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {         }     });
