Remove highlight on press in tablayout

enter image description here

How to disable this highlight on pressing the tab. I have been searching for half an hour and couldn't figure it out. I am using tablayout.

Solution

  • just set the background color to transparent or to the background color of the tablayout. Add the following code to the parent layout.

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

    And add the following to tablayout.

    app:tabBackground="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"

    This will solve your problem. Tested in Android M.
