Android TabLayout Example using ViewPager and Fragments

February 4, 2016 by Belal Khan 68 Comments

If you are using the latest android application then you have noticed that now days android is following a design pattern. This is material design and it came with Android Lollipop (5.0). Though we can still use this design pattern for the older versions (>4.0) by using the support libraries. One of the component of material design is TabLayout. So in this Android TablLayout Example we will see how we can implement it in our android application. You may have already seen Android TabLayout Example in the apps you use daily. For example WhatsApp the home screen is an Android TabLayout Example from where we switch to calls, chats and contacts.

So lets see in this Android TablLayout Example how we can implement the same in our android project.

What is Android TabLayout?

Android TabLayout provides horizontal layout to display tabs. We can display more screens in a single screen using tabs. User can swipe the tabs quickly as you can see in the image below.

Android Tablayout Example

Android TabLayout Video Tutorial

Check this updated video tutorial for Android TabLayout.

Creating our Android TabLayout Example

Open Android Studio and create a new project.
I have created AndroidTabLayout.

Adding Design Support to our Project

We have to add design support library to the dependencies. So right click on app and to go module settings.

Now go to dependencies tab and click on the + button and select library dependency.

Select design and click on ok.

Creating Layouts for the Tab Views

We have to create the layout resource files for our tabs. As in this project I will be displaying 3 tabs so I need to create 3 layout files.

You can see in the image I have tab1.xml, tab2.xml and tab3.xml. All these files are having the same code you can see below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:text="Tab 1"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"/>

</RelativeLayout>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="match_parent"

android:orientation="vertical">

<TextView

android:id="@+id/textView"

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_centerInParent="true"

android:text="Tab 1"

android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"/>

</RelativeLayout>

Just change the android:text=”Tab tab_number”,for every layout file to see the tabs are switching or not.
For these 3 layout resource files we also need to create 3 java classes that will contain these resource as fragment.

Create these 3 classes in your project (Tab1, Tab2, Tab3). The code would be the same for every class. Write the following code inside these 3 classes.

package net.simplifiedcoding.androidtablayout;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;

/**
 * Created by Belal on 2/3/2016.
 */

//Our class extending fragment
public class Tab1 extends Fragment {

    //Overriden method onCreateView
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        
        //Returning the layout file after inflating 
        //Change R.layout.tab1 in you classes 
        return inflater.inflate(R.layout.tab1, container, false);
    }
}

package net.simplifiedcoding.androidtablayout;

import android.os.Bundle;

import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;

import android.view.LayoutInflater;

import android.view.View;

import android.view.ViewGroup;

/**

* Created by Belal on 2/3/2016.

//Our class extending fragment

public class Tab1 extends Fragment {

//Overriden method onCreateView

@Override

public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {

//Returning the layout file after inflating

//Change R.layout.tab1 in you classes

return inflater.inflate(R.layout.tab1, container, false);

}

You just need to change the R.layout.tab1 for Tab1.java, R.layout.tab2 for Tab2.java and so on.

Creating a pager adapter

We need a pager adapter to swipe views. So create a new class named Pager.java. and write the following code.

package net.simplifiedcoding.androidtablayout;

import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentStatePagerAdapter;

/**
 * Created by Belal on 2/3/2016.
 */
//Extending FragmentStatePagerAdapter
public class Pager extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter {
    
    //integer to count number of tabs
    int tabCount;

    //Constructor to the class 
    public Pager(FragmentManager fm, int tabCount) {
        super(fm);
        //Initializing tab count
        this.tabCount= tabCount;
    }

    //Overriding method getItem
    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int position) {
        //Returning the current tabs 
        switch (position) {
            case 0:
                Tab1 tab1 = new Tab1();
                return tab1;
            case 1:
                Tab2 tab2 = new Tab2();
                return tab2;
            case 2:
                Tab3 tab3 = new Tab3();
                return tab3;
            default:
                return null;
        }
    }

    //Overriden method getCount to get the number of tabs 
    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return tabCount;
    }
}

package net.simplifiedcoding.androidtablayout;

import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;

import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;

import android.support.v4.app.FragmentStatePagerAdapter;

/**

* Created by Belal on 2/3/2016.

//Extending FragmentStatePagerAdapter

public class Pager extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter {

//integer to count number of tabs

int tabCount;

//Constructor to the class

public Pager(FragmentManager fm, int tabCount) {

super(fm);

//Initializing tab count

this.tabCount= tabCount;

}

//Overriding method getItem

@Override

public Fragment getItem(int position) {

//Returning the current tabs

switch (position) {

case 0:

Tab1 tab1 = new Tab1();

return tab1;

case 1:

Tab2 tab2 = new Tab2();

return tab2;

case 2:

Tab3 tab3 = new Tab3();

return tab3;

default:

return null;

}

//Overriden method getCount to get the number of tabs

@Override

public int getCount() {

return tabCount;

}

Removing Actionbar

Now one thing we just forget. We have to remove the action bar and we will use the toolbar instead. So go to values -> styles.xml and change the app theme.

<resources>

    <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <!-- changing it to no actionbar -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    </style>

</resources>

<item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>

<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>

<item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>

</style>

</resources>

Creating TabLayout and ViewPager

Now we will create our TabLayout, so come inside activity_main.xml and write the following code.

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/main_layout"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <!-- our toolbar -->
    <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
        android:id="@+id/toolbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
        android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
        android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
        app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"/>

    <!-- our tablayout to display tabs  -->
    <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
        android:id="@+id/tabLayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
        android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
        android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"/>

    <!-- View pager to swipe views -->
    <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
        android:id="@+id/pager"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>

</LinearLayout>

<LinearLayout

android:id="@+id/main_layout"

android:orientation="vertical"

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="match_parent"

tools:context=".MainActivity">

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar

android:id="@+id/toolbar"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"

android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"

android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"

app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"/>

<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout

android:id="@+id/tabLayout"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"

android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"

android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"/>

<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager

android:id="@+id/pager"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>

</LinearLayout>

Now come to MainActivity.java.

//Implementing the interface OnTabSelectedListener to our MainActivity
//This interface would help in swiping views 
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements TabLayout.OnTabSelectedListener{

    //This is our tablayout 
    private TabLayout tabLayout;
    
    //This is our viewPager
    private ViewPager viewPager;

//Implementing the interface OnTabSelectedListener to our MainActivity

//This interface would help in swiping views

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements TabLayout.OnTabSelectedListener{

//This is our tablayout

private TabLayout tabLayout;

//This is our viewPager

private ViewPager viewPager;

In the above code we have implemented the interface OnTabSelectedListener. As we implemented an interface to our class we have to override the methods of this interface. Override the following methods inside MainActivity.java.

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

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

    }

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

    }

@Override

public void onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {

}

@Override

public void onTabUnselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {

}

@Override

public void onTabReselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {

}

Now come inside onCreate() and write the following code.

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        //Adding toolbar to the activity
        Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

        //Initializing the tablayout
        tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tabLayout);

        //Adding the tabs using addTab() method
        tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Your Tab Title"));
        tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Your Tab Title"));
        tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Your Tab Title"));
        tabLayout.setTabGravity(TabLayout.GRAVITY_FILL);

        //Initializing viewPager
        viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
        
        //Creating our pager adapter
        Pager adapter = new Pager(getSupportFragmentManager(), tabLayout.getTabCount());
        
        //Adding adapter to pager 
        viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
        
        //Adding onTabSelectedListener to swipe views 
        tabLayout.setOnTabSelectedListener(this);
    }

@Override

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

//Adding toolbar to the activity

Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);

setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

//Initializing the tablayout

tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tabLayout);

//Adding the tabs using addTab() method

tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Your Tab Title"));

tabLayout.setTabGravity(TabLayout.GRAVITY_FILL);

//Initializing viewPager

viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);

//Creating our pager adapter

Pager adapter = new Pager(getSupportFragmentManager(), tabLayout.getTabCount());

//Adding adapter to pager

viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);

//Adding onTabSelectedListener to swipe views

tabLayout.setOnTabSelectedListener(this);

}

Now at last we only need to swipe the view when a new tab is selected. For this go to the overriden method onTabSelected() and write the following code.

    @Override
    public void onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
        viewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition());
    }

@Override

public void onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {

viewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition());

}

So the final code for MainActivity.java would be.

package net.simplifiedcoding.androidtablayout;

import android.support.design.widget.TabLayout;
import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar;

//Implementing the interface OnTabSelectedListener to our MainActivity
//This interface would help in swiping views
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements TabLayout.OnTabSelectedListener{

    //This is our tablayout
    private TabLayout tabLayout;

    //This is our viewPager
    private ViewPager viewPager;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        //Adding toolbar to the activity
        Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

        //Initializing the tablayout
        tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tabLayout);

        //Adding the tabs using addTab() method
        tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Tab1"));
        tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Tab2"));
        tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Tab3"));
        tabLayout.setTabGravity(TabLayout.GRAVITY_FILL);

        //Initializing viewPager
        viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);

        //Creating our pager adapter
        Pager adapter = new Pager(getSupportFragmentManager(), tabLayout.getTabCount());

        //Adding adapter to pager
        viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);

        //Adding onTabSelectedListener to swipe views
        tabLayout.setOnTabSelectedListener(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
        viewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition());
    }

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

    }

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

    }
}

package net.simplifiedcoding.androidtablayout;

import android.support.design.widget.TabLayout;

import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager;

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;

import android.os.Bundle;

import android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar;

//Implementing the interface OnTabSelectedListener to our MainActivity

//This interface would help in swiping views

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements TabLayout.OnTabSelectedListener{

//This is our tablayout

private TabLayout tabLayout;

//This is our viewPager

private ViewPager viewPager;

@Override

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

//Adding toolbar to the activity

Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);

setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

//Initializing the tablayout

tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tabLayout);

//Adding the tabs using addTab() method

tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Tab1"));

tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Tab2"));

tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Tab3"));

tabLayout.setTabGravity(TabLayout.GRAVITY_FILL);

//Initializing viewPager

viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);

//Creating our pager adapter

Pager adapter = new Pager(getSupportFragmentManager(), tabLayout.getTabCount());

//Adding adapter to pager

viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);

//Adding onTabSelectedListener to swipe views

tabLayout.setOnTabSelectedListener(this);

}

@Override

public void onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {

viewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition());

}

@Override

public void onTabUnselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {

}

@Override

public void onTabReselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {

}

Now run you application.

Just a small problem, when sliding(not selecting) through the tabs, the content of the page are switching correctly but the pointer on the toolbar are not changing.
For example if I have 3 tabs each one having a text field “Tab1”, “Tab2″,”Tab3” respectively, then if I select first tab1 I’ll se “Tab1”, but if I slide to the next tab I can see Tab 2 but in the toolbar the Tab 1 remains selected. can you help please?

FIX: Tab title not changing when swiping

Write the following code inside OnCreate fn.

// When swiping between pages, select the
// corresponding tab.
viewPager.addOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onPageSelected(int position) {
//actionBar.setSelectedNavigationItem(postion);
tabLayout.setScrollPosition(position,0,true);
tabLayout.setSelected(true);

}

@Override
public void onPageScrolled(int arg0, float arg1, int arg2) {
}

@Override
public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int arg0) {
}
});

It’s working, but still need some work for perfection.

Fix for Tab Title while Swiping

Just add the below line in onCreate function in MainActivity

viewPager.addOnPageChangeListener(new TabLayout.TabLayoutOnPageChangeListener(tabLayout));

Below lines of code shows you where to add that line

//Adding adapter to pager
viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
viewPager.addOnPageChangeListener(new TabLayout.TabLayoutOnPageChangeListener(tabLayout));

//Adding onTabSelectedListener to swipe views
tabLayout.setOnTabSelectedListener(this);

Hi! thanks for the awesome tutorials!

If you swipe the page the tab indicator doesn’t change.

Add this:

viewPager.addOnPageChangeListener(new TabLayout.TabLayoutOnPageChangeListener(tabLayout));

Peace!

Hi Belal Khan!

I wonder if it is possible to disable finger swipe on the pages & only use ‘click on tab’ for the page navigation? I would hope that you provide me the assistance on customizing your source code.

Thank you!

Thanks for the tutorial Belal. Just a suggestion:-
Instead of adding any of the listener in main activity use the method tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(viewPager);
and override the method getTitle in Pager class:
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
switch(position){
case 0:
return “Tab 1”;
case 1:
return “Tab 2”;
case 2:
return “Tab 3”;
default:
return null;
}
}

remove these lines from MainActivity:
tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText(“Tab1”));
tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText(“Tab2”));
tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText(“Tab3”));

No need to add any listeners in tablayout and viewPager, the both will be automatically linked.

Hi Belal: Nice simple example. With the suggested fix I was able to get the code working.
However, when I went to recreate the files, I ran into an Android Studio error when I right clicked on the project and selected module. This is preventing me from adding library dependencies for the TabLayout and Widget functions.

My minimum build level is 16. The error is:
IllegalArgumentException: Multiple entries with same key: Google Inc.:Google APIs:16=Google
APIs (API 16) and Google Inc.:Google APIs:16=Google APIs (API 16)

setOnTabSelectedListener is deprecated, instead now use: addOnTabSelectedListener

tabLayout.addOnTabSelectedListener(this);

Adding a custom layout to be rendered when a specific tab is clicked or touched is a problem. When I do this the tab name disappears and seems to be replaced by the custom layout. How should I resolve this problem?
Otherwise, useful example.

In the activity_main the Tablayout should be placed below the ViewPager to enable clicking the tabs also possible if you do not want to swipe

Thank you very much.

Are there any examples that have two menus? Horizontal menu and one side menu (Navigation Drawer and TabLayout) using ViewPager and Fragments.

I haven’t seen any tutorial that explains how to do it, I’m not very put in programming, anyway you can’t do it, but having these two options is interesting.

Does anyone know a tutorial that explains how to do it?
