TabLayout

public class TabLayout
extends HorizontalScrollView

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.view.View
     ↳ android.view.ViewGroup
       ↳ android.widget.FrameLayout
         ↳ android.widget.HorizontalScrollView
           ↳ com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout


TabLayout provides a horizontal layout to display tabs.

Population of the tabs to display is done through TabLayout.Tab instances. You create tabs via newTab(). From there you can change the tab's label or icon via TabLayout.Tab.setText(int) and TabLayout.Tab.setIcon(int) respectively. To display the tab, you need to add it to the layout via one of the addTab(Tab) methods. For example:

 TabLayout tabLayout = ...;
 tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Tab 1"));
 tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Tab 2"));
 tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Tab 3"));
 
You should add a listener via addOnTabSelectedListener(OnTabSelectedListener) to be notified when any tab's selection state has been changed.

You can also add items to TabLayout in your layout through the use of TabItem. An example usage is like so:

 <com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:layout_width="match_parent">

     <com.google.android.material.tabs.TabItem
             android:text="@string/tab_text"/>

     <com.google.android.material.tabs.TabItem
             android:icon="@drawable/ic_android"/>

 </com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout>
 

ViewPager integration

If you're using a ViewPager together with this layout, you can call setupWithViewPager(ViewPager) to link the two together. This layout will be automatically populated from the PagerAdapter's page titles.

This view also supports being used as part of a ViewPager's decor, and can be added directly to the ViewPager in a layout resource file like so:

 <androidx.viewpager.widget.ViewPager
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="match_parent">

     <com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout
         android:layout_width="match_parent"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:layout_gravity="top" />

 </androidx.viewpager.widget.ViewPager>

If tabIndicatorColor is specified via the TabLayout's style or via setSelectedTabIndicatorColor(int) the selection indicator will be tinted that color. Otherwise, it will use the colors specified in the drawable.

Parameters
tabSelectedIndicatorResourceId int: A drawable resource to use as the selected tab indicator.

setSelectedTabIndicatorColor

public void setSelectedTabIndicatorColor (int color)

Sets the tab indicator's color for the currently selected tab.

If the tab indicator color is not Color.TRANSPARENT, the indicator will be wrapped and tinted right before it is drawn by ERROR(/SlidingTabIndicator#draw(Canvas)). If you'd like the inherent color or the tinted color of a custom drawable to be used, make sure this color is set to Color.TRANSPARENT to avoid your color/tint being overridden.

Parameters
color int: color to use for the indicator

setSelectedTabIndicatorGravity

public void setSelectedTabIndicatorGravity (int indicatorGravity)

Set the indicator gravity used to align the tab selection indicator in the TabLayout. You must set the indicator height via the custom indicator drawable's intrinsic height (preferred), via the tabIndicatorHeight attribute (deprecated), or via setSelectedTabIndicatorHeight(int) (deprecated). Otherwise, the indicator will not be shown unless gravity is set to INDICATOR_GRAVITY_STRETCH, in which case it will ignore indicator height and stretch across the entire height of the TabLayout. This defaults to INDICATOR_GRAVITY_BOTTOM if not set.

Related XML Attributes:

Parameters
indicatorGravity int: one of INDICATOR_GRAVITY_BOTTOM, INDICATOR_GRAVITY_CENTER, INDICATOR_GRAVITY_TOP, or INDICATOR_GRAVITY_STRETCH

setSelectedTabIndicatorHeight

public void setSelectedTabIndicatorHeight (int height)

This method is deprecated.
If possible, set the intrinsic height directly on a custom indicator drawable passed to setSelectedTabIndicator(Drawable).

Sets the tab indicator's height for the currently selected tab.

Parameters
height int: height to use for the indicator in pixels

setTabGravity

public void setTabGravity (int gravity)

Set the gravity to use when laying out the tabs.

Related XML Attributes:

Parameters
gravity int: one of GRAVITY_CENTER or GRAVITY_FILL.

setTabIconTint

public void setTabIconTint (ColorStateList iconTint)

Sets the icon tint for the different states (normal, selected) used for the tabs.

Parameters
iconTint ColorStateList

setTabIconTintResource

public void setTabIconTintResource (int iconTintResourceId)

Sets the icon tint resource for the different states (normal, selected) used for the tabs.

Parameters
iconTintResourceId int: A color resource to use as icon tint.

setTabIndicatorAnimationMode

public void setTabIndicatorAnimationMode (int tabIndicatorAnimationMode)

Set the mode by which the selection indicator should animate when moving between destinations.

Defaults to INDICATOR_ANIMATION_MODE_LINEAR. Changing this is useful as a stylistic choice.

Related XML Attributes:

Parameters
tabIndicatorAnimationMode int: one of INDICATOR_ANIMATION_MODE_LINEAR or INDICATOR_ANIMATION_MODE_ELASTIC

setTabIndicatorFullWidth

public void setTabIndicatorFullWidth (boolean tabIndicatorFullWidth)

Enable or disable option to fit the tab selection indicator to the full width of the tab item rather than to the tab item's content.

Defaults to true. If set to false and the tab item has a text label, the selection indicator width will be set to the width of the text label. If the tab item has no text label, but does have an icon, the selection indicator width will be set to the icon. If the tab item has neither of these, or if the calculated width is less than a minimum width value, the selection indicator width will be set to the minimum width value.

Related XML Attributes:

Parameters
tabIndicatorFullWidth boolean: Whether or not to fit selection indicator width to full width of the tab item

setTabMode

public void setTabMode (int mode)

Set the behavior mode for the Tabs in this layout. The valid input options are:

  • MODE_FIXED: Fixed tabs display all tabs concurrently and are best used with content that benefits from quick pivots between tabs.
  • MODE_SCROLLABLE: Scrollable tabs display a subset of tabs at any given moment, and can contain longer tab labels and a larger number of tabs. They are best used for browsing contexts in touch interfaces when users don't need to directly compare the tab labels. This mode is commonly used with a ViewPager.

Parameters
mode int: one of MODE_FIXED or MODE_SCROLLABLE.

setTabRippleColor

public void setTabRippleColor (ColorStateList color)

Sets the ripple color for this TabLayout.

When running on devices with KitKat or below, we draw this color as a filled overlay rather than a ripple.

Related XML Attributes:

Parameters
color ColorStateList: color (or ColorStateList) to use for the ripple

setTabRippleColorResource

public void setTabRippleColorResource (int tabRippleColorResourceId)

Sets the ripple color resource for this TabLayout.

Parameters
adapter PagerAdapter

setUnboundedRipple

public void setUnboundedRipple (boolean unboundedRipple)

Set whether this TabLayout will have an unbounded ripple effect or if ripple will be bound to the tab item size.

Defaults to false.

setUnboundedRippleResource

public void setUnboundedRippleResource (int unboundedRippleResourceId)

Set whether this TabLayout will have an unbounded ripple effect or if ripple will be bound to the tab item size. Defaults to false.

Related XML Attributes:

Parameters
unboundedRippleResourceId int: Resource ID for boolean unbounded ripple value

setupWithViewPager

public void setupWithViewPager (ViewPager viewPager)

The one-stop shop for setting up this TabLayout with a ViewPager.

This is the same as calling setupWithViewPager(ViewPager, boolean) with auto-refresh enabled.

Parameters
viewPager ViewPager: the ViewPager to link to, or null to clear any previous link

setupWithViewPager

public void setupWithViewPager (ViewPager viewPager, 
                boolean autoRefresh)

The one-stop shop for setting up this TabLayout with a ViewPager.

This method will link the given ViewPager and this TabLayout together so that changes in one are automatically reflected in the other. This includes scroll state changes and clicks. The tabs displayed in this layout will be populated from the ViewPager adapter's page titles.

If autoRefresh is true, any changes in the PagerAdapter will trigger this layout to re-populate itself from the adapter's titles.

If the given ViewPager is non-null, it needs to already have a PagerAdapter set.

Parameters
viewPager ViewPager: the ViewPager to link to, or null to clear any previous link

autoRefresh boolean: whether this layout should refresh its contents if the given ViewPager's content changes
