Solution

  • Create an xml layout named custom_tab.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"

    Now set font of tab layout using below code 

    TextView tabOne = (TextView) LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.custom_tab, null);
tabOne.setText("&#xf1fe;");
Typeface typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf");
