TabLayout.setTabTextColors() not working when trying to change text color

Question

I have a working TabLayout, and I am trying to update the tab text color dynamically, when changing tabs. To do this, I call the setTabTextColors() method on my TabLayout as such:

tabLayout.setOnTabSelectedListener(new TabLayout.OnTabSelectedListener() {
    @Override
    public void onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
        tabLayout.setTabTextColors(newColorStateList);
    }

    (...)
});

For some reason, the text color doesn't update. Does anyone know how to update the tab text color dynamically?

I am using the Design Support Library v22.2.0.

Answer 1

It's finally fixed in Design Support Library 22.2.1.

        tabLayout.setOnTabSelectedListener(new TabLayout.OnTabSelectedListener() {
          @Override
          public void onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
            tabLayout.setTabTextColors(getResources().getColor(R.color.normal), getResources().getColor(R.color.selected));

            try {
                // FIXME: 20.7.2015 WORKAROUND: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=175182 change indicator color
                Field field = TabLayout.class.getDeclaredField("mTabStrip");
                field.setAccessible(true);
                Object value = field.get(tabLayout);

                Method method = value.getClass().getDeclaredMethod("setSelectedIndicatorColor", Integer.TYPE);
                method.setAccessible(true);
                method.invoke(value, getResources().getColor(R.color.selected));
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
          }

        ...
        }
