Styling text on TabLayout

Question

I'm trying to style the new TabLayout from android design library.

<style name="NavigationTab" parent="Widget.Design.TabLayout">
    <item name="tabBackground">@drawable/background_tab</item>
    <item name="tabIndicatorColor">@color/blue</item>
    <item name="tabTextAppearance">@style/NavigationTabTextAppeareance</item>
</style>

And the text is defined right here

<style name="NavigationTabTextAppeareance" parent="TextAppearance.Design.Tab">
      <item name="android:textColor">@color/primary_light</item>
      <item name="android:textSize">12sp</item>
</style>

But the selected tab is always black, how can I change it?

Answer 1

set tabSelectedTextColor in NavigationTab like this:

<style name="NavigationTab" parent="Widget.Design.TabLayout">
    <item name="tabBackground">@drawable/background_tab</item>
    <item name="tabSelectedTextColor">@color/primary_light</item>
    <item name="tabIndicatorColor">@color/blue</item>
    <item name="tabTextAppearance">@style/NavigationTabTextAppeareance</item>
</style>

<style name="NavigationTabTextAppeareance" parent="TextAppearance.Design.Tab">
      <item name="android:textColor">@color/primary_light</item>
      <item name="android:textSize">12sp</item>
</style>
