I am trying to implement custom tabs UI in bottom like that of Instagram (screenshot is attached). I want the middle tab to open another activity instead of opening a fragment inside the same view.
I feel that this is implemented using imagebutton overlay on the tab host. But, I am still not able to place that imagebutton properly so that UI looks proper. Below is my code for the tabs in the bottom
<?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" >
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/realtabcontent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<android.support.v4.app.FragmentTabHost
android:id="@android:id/tabhost"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<FrameLayout
android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="0" />
</android.support.v4.app.FragmentTabHost>
</LinearLayout>
Kindly help.
Thanks,
Custom Tabs is a browser feature, introduced by Chrome, that is now supported by most major browsers on Android. It gives apps more control over their web experience, and makes transitions between native and web content more seamless without having to resort to a WebView.
Use TabLayout
to do that.
xml:
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
android:id="@+id/tabLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:minHeight="100dp"
app:tabGravity="fill"
app:tabMode="fixed"
app:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" />
code:
tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Tab 1"));
tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Tab 2"));
tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab());
View custom = LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.custom_tab, null);
((TextView) custom.findViewById(R.id.tabTitle)).setText("Tab 3");
(custom.findViewById(R.id.tabIcon)).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.ic_place_white_18dp);
TabLayout.Tab customTab = tabLayout.getTabAt(2);
customTab.setCustomView(custom);
tabLayout.addOnTabSelectedListener(new TabLayout.OnTabSelectedListener() {
@Override
public void onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
switch (tabLayout.getSelectedTabPosition()) {
case 0:
//do what you want when tab 0 is selected
break;
case 1:
//do what you want when tab 1 is selected
break;
case 2:
//do what you want when tab 2 is selected
break;
default:
break;
}
}
@Override
public void onTabUnselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
}
@Override
public void onTabReselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
}
});
EDIT:
Third tab is using custom layout.
