How to change selected Tab Text color using TabLayout from code in Android?

Question

I'm using android.support.widget.TabLayout to make a Tab view, and I want to change the selected tabs text color from code (not from xml or by styling). How can I do this ?

It's so simple using XML. Just add the following 2 attributes in your tab layout.

app:tabSelectedTextColor="@color/color_primary_text"
app:tabTextColor="@color/color_secondary_text"

So, your code would look something like this.

<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
    android:id="@+id/tab_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
    android:layout_gravity="bottom"
    android:background="@color/button_background"
    android:fillViewport="true"
    app:tabBackground="@drawable/fixed_bottom_button"
    app:tabIndicatorColor="@color/color_primary_text"
    app:tabMode="fixed"
    app:tabSelectedTextColor="@color/color_primary_text"
    app:tabTextColor="@color/color_secondary_text" />

@Raykud Yeah, you are right. But at that time, I was looking for a solution using XML and didn't found any. So, I posted my solution for anyone looking for the same in the future. – Mohammedsalim Shivani Mar 09 '19 at 07:17

This should be the accepted answer, the simplest solution – PeterPazmandi Apr 28 '20 at 16:45
@inspire_coding I acknowledge your appreciation. But the OP want to change the tab colour from code, i.e. `.java` or `.kt` file. – Mohammedsalim Shivani Apr 30 '20 at 06:38
@inspire_coding no doubt it's a simple and quick one, but I needed (at that time) to add color from java code, So the accepted answer would be the one given by - Shaan_B – rastha67 Feb 17 '22 at 15:10

If you are using the design support library add this code to your tab activity.

tabLayout.setSelectedTabIndicatorColor(Color.parseColor("#FF0000"));
tabLayout.setSelectedTabIndicatorHeight((int) (5 * getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density));
tabLayout.setTabTextColors(Color.parseColor("#727272"), Color.parseColor("#ffffff"));

This will set the tab text color as well as tab indicator color in your tab activity.

thank you help but i m asking to change the text color of current tab – rastha67 May 03 '16 at 10:44
yes the third line's first parameter is for the default color and the second parameter will set the mentioned color to the selected tab. ie for the non-selected tab the color will be #727272 and for selected tab the color will be #ffffff – Shaan_B May 03 '16 at 11:44
if you can please accept the answer. glad this helped you – Shaan_B May 04 '16 at 04:51

Please check out following answer

 tabLayout.addOnTabSelectedListener(new TabLayout.OnTabSelectedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
            View view = tab.getCustomView();
            RelativeLayout relativeLayout = (RelativeLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.layout_background);
            relativeLayout.setBackgroundColor(ContextCompat.getColor(getActivity(), R.color.white));
            TypefacedTextView selectedText = (TypefacedTextView) view.findViewById(R.id.txt_tab_name);
            selectedText.setTextColor(ContextCompat.getColor(getActivity(), R.color.colorPrimary));

        }

        @Override
        public void onTabUnselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
            View view = tab.getCustomView();
            RelativeLayout relativeLayout = (RelativeLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.layout_background);
            relativeLayout.setBackgroundColor(ContextCompat.getColor(getActivity(), R.color.colorPrimary));
            TypefacedTextView selectedText = (TypefacedTextView) view.findViewById(R.id.txt_tab_name);
            selectedText.setTextColor(ContextCompat.getColor(getActivity(), R.color.white));
        }

        @Override
        public void onTabReselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {

        }
    });

where tabLayout is object of TabLayout Class

This variant suits better if you have a custom view for tab item. — Дмитро Яковлєв, Feb 22 '18 at 09:54

It's better if you update the library with "com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0". Then use bellow code,

In XML attributes

<com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout
                    android:id="@+id/tab_layout"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    app:tabIndicatorColor="@color/white"
                    app:tabBackground="@color/colorAccent"
                    app:tabSelectedTextColor="@color/white"
                    app:tabTextColor="@color/white"
                    app:tabMode="scrollable" />

In Kotlin programmatically

(tab_layout as TabLayout).setBackgroundColor(ContextCompat.getColor(mContext, R.color.colorPrimary))
(tab_layout as TabLayout).setSelectedTabIndicatorColor(ContextCompat.getColor(mContext, R.color.white))
(tab_layout as TabLayout).setTabTextColors(ContextCompat.getColor(mContext, R.color.white),
                ContextCompat.getColor(mContext, R.color.white))

I know this might be a bit late but here is more simpler code :

tabLayout.setTabTextColors(getResources().getColor(R.color.blue_200), getResources().getColor(R.color.white));

first value is the default text color, 2nd value is the selected tab text color.

Using native android code you can chage multiple tab background & text color

LinearLayout tabsContainer = (LinearLayout) tabLayout.getChildAt(0);
        for (int i = 0; i < tabLayout.getTabCount(); i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j <= selectedTab.size(); j++) {
                if (selectedTab.contains(section)) {
                    LinearLayout item = (LinearLayout) tabsContainer.getChildAt(section - 1);
                    TextView tv = (TextView) item.getChildAt(1);
                    item.setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.color00DF4C));
                    tv.setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.colorWhite));
                }
            }

I haven't written these above two files. I took it from the official android documentation site.

Now take the widget SlidingTabLayout in your layout xml file.

and finally add this code to your Activity/Fragment :

CONTENT = new String[] { "A", "B", "C", "D"};

mPager = (ViewPager) view.findViewById(R.id.pager);
SlidingTabsAdapter adapter =new SlidingTabsAdapter(getChildFragmentManager());

        mPager.setAdapter(adapter);

        mPager.setCurrentItem(0);

        slidingTabLayout = (SlidingTabLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.sliding_tabs);
        slidingTabLayout.setDistributeEvenly(true);
        slidingTabLayout.setSelectedIndicatorColors(getResources().getColor(someColorID));
        slidingTabLayout.setViewPager(mPager);

private class SlidingTabsAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {

public SlidingTabsAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
    super(fm);
}

@Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {

    Fragment fragment;
    Bundle b;

    switch (position){

        case 0:

            fragment = new FragmentA();

        break;

        case 1:

            fragment = new FragmentB();

        break;

        case 2:

            fragment = new FragmentC();

        break;

        case 3:

            fragment = new FragmentD();

        break;

        default:

            fragment = new FragmentZ();

    }

    return fragment;
}

@Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
    return CONTENT[position % CONTENT.length].toUpperCase();
}

@Override
public int getCount() {
    return CONTENT.length;
}

}
