Is there a way to add vertical line between each tab in TabLayout

Question

The TabLayout is quite userful building a sliding tab for viewpager, except there is no way you can add vertical line between tabs just like TabHost in code or xml as far as I know, so is there other way to do so with ease?

Answer 1

TabLayout is actually a horizontal scrollable LinearLayout.

Just use following code to add dividers:

    LinearLayout linearLayout = (LinearLayout)tabLayout.getChildAt(0);
    linearLayout.setShowDividers(LinearLayout.SHOW_DIVIDER_MIDDLE);
    GradientDrawable drawable = new GradientDrawable();
    drawable.setColor(Color.GRAY);
    drawable.setSize(1, 1);
    linearLayout.setDividerPadding(10);
    linearLayout.setDividerDrawable(drawable);
