TabLayout color of selected tab underline

Question

How can I change the color of the underline of the selected tab on the new TabLayout? The PagerTabStrip has a method setTabIndicatorColor(int color), TabLayout doesn't seem to have such a method.

Answer 1

Use app:tabIndicatorColor.

Example:

<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout     android:id="@+id/tabs"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     app:tabIndicatorColor="@android:color/white" /> 

Make sure you have this namespace: xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

Documentation: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/design/widget/TabLayout.html#attr_android.support.design:tabIndicatorColor.

Answer 2

Try to download below file from this location :

https://github.com/google/iosched/tree/master/android/src/main/java/com/google/samples/apps/iosched/ui/widget

SlidingTabLayout.java SlidingTabStrip.java 

Try to set tab indicator color this way :

slidingTabLayout.setCustomTabColorizer(new SlidingTabLayout.TabColorizer() {      @Override      public int getIndicatorColor(int position) {         return getResources().getColor(R.color.color_name);      } });
