How do I change the text style of a selected tab when using tabLayout?

Question

I want to make the text of a selected tab bold. How can I do this either through xml or java code, whatever is easier.

Answer 1

This works in JAVA

tabs.setOnTabSelectedListener(new TabLayout.OnTabSelectedListener() {
    @Override
    public void onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
        initTabSelection(tab);

        for(int index = 0; index < ((ViewGroup) tab.view).getChildCount(); index++) {
            View nextChild = ((ViewGroup) tab.view).getChildAt(index);
            if (nextChild instanceof TextView) {
                TextView v = (TextView) nextChild;
                v.setTypeface(null, Typeface.BOLD);
            }
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onTabUnselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
        for(int index = 0; index < ((ViewGroup) tab.view).getChildCount(); index++) {
            View nextChild = ((ViewGroup) tab.view).getChildAt(index);
            if (nextChild instanceof TextView) {
                TextView v = (TextView) nextChild;
                v.setTypeface(null, Typeface.NORMAL);
            }
        }
    }

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