TabLayout selected Tab icon is not selected on start up

Question

I\'m using a TabLayout for Tabbed navigation in my app. I have a really weird issue with it, I have created 4 tabs using this code:

private int[         


        

Answer 1

The correct answer for tab selection in TabLayout would be:

TabLayout.Tab currentTab = mTabs.getTabAt(selectedTab);
if (currentTab != null) {
    View customView = currentTab.getCustomView();
    if (customView != null) {
        customView.setSelected(true);
    }
    currentTab.select();
}

where currentTab.select() will move the indicator to the selected tab, when customView.setSelected() will make all the items in the custom view set their selected states from the selectors look selected.
