How Do I Get The View Of A Tab In A Tablayout?
I'd like to find the view of a Tab in a TabLayout so that I can pass it to another function. I'm not sure how to go about finding the view. myTabLayout.getTabAt(0).getCustomView()
Solution 1:
I ended up using the following to get tab views. I'm just not sure if it's best practice or if it's reliable across all Android versions:
mainTab = ((ViewGroup) tabLayout.getChildAt(0)).getChildAt(desiredPosition);Looking at source we can see that tabLayout.getChildAt(0) returns the SlidingTabStrip which is an internal class extending LinearLayout that holds the tab views. Then, you can access the tab view with .getChildAt(desiredPosition). Note that when using getChildAt() boundaries are not being checked, so make sure you are calling correct indexes and also check for null returns.
Solution 2:
TabLayout tabLayout = .... (findview or code creation )
/** get selected tab index */int selectedTabPosition = tabLayout.getSelectedTabPosition();
/** get tab for selected index or if u want any other tab set desired index */
TabLayout.Tab tabAt = tabLayout.getTabAt(selectedTabPosition);
/** get view - but first u need set custom view on tabl via Tab.setCustomView(View) */View tabView = tabAt.getCustomView():
hint:
- if you populate
TabLayoutwithViewPagercheck first if view is laid out :). If not setonLayoutChangedListenerforViewPagerthen setup with pager!
Tab Source if you wish to use reflections :D

or you can hook directly into (via reflection):
privatefinal SlidingTabStrip mTabStrip;
or you can copy source code and change methods and fields at your discretion.
Solution 3:
It returns null because you're not using any Custom View in the first place. It returns the custom view only when you use it. For using the custom view, your code should be something like this.
tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setCustomView(R.layout.custom_view).setText("Page1"));
If you use the above line and then try to call myTabLayout.getTabAt(0).getCustomView(), it'd return you the view that you set.
Solution 4:
Answering for future references.
tabLayout.getTabAt(tabIndex).view
Example- To get the view of first tab in tabLayout. Use tabLayout.getTabAt(0).view
