Code usage

You can use this properties in xml for convenience. You can set the number of tabs you want to use and the starting tab position.

        app:number_of_tabs="five"
        app:starting_position="three"
        
        app:tab_color="@color/colorPrimary"
        app:button_color="@color/colorAccent"
        app:text_color="#61FFFFFF"
        
        app:icon_one="@drawable/ic_hotel_black_24dp"
        app:icon_two="@drawable/design_ic_visibility"
        app:icon_three="@drawable/ic_content_cut_black_24dp"
        app:icon_four="@drawable/ic_check_black_24dp"
        app:icon_five="@drawable/ic_fingerprint_black_24dp"
         
        app:text_one="Action"
        app:text_two="Action"
        app:text_three="Action"

You can also use the fallowing methods to customize its appearance and behavior:

setTabTwoIcon(@DrawableRes int tabTwoIcon); Set the icon for both the second tab and the Action Button when in the second position.

Motivation

I get the inspiration from the Google Space app that uses a center Floating Action Button. I liked the idea so much that I though that it would be so nice if we could have this like a TabLayout.

Installation

Declaring dependencies

Add this to dependencies brackets in the gradle.build file:

compile 'eu.long1:spacetablayout:1.0.4'

XML implementation

In your layout just include this. You can customize the Tab here with text, icons, colors...

 <eu.long1.spacetablayout.SpaceTabLayout
        android:id="@+id/spaceTabLayout"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        app:number_of_tabs="five"
        app:starting_position="three"
        app:tab_color="@color/colorPrimary"
        app:button_color="@color/colorAccent"
        app:text_color="#61FFFFFF"
        app:icon_one="@drawable/ic_hotel_black_24dp"
        app:icon_two="@drawable/design_ic_visibility"
        app:icon_three="@drawable/ic_content_cut_black_24dp"
        app:icon_four="@drawable/ic_check_black_24dp"
        app:icon_five="@drawable/ic_fingerprint_black_24dp"/>

SnackBar behavior

If you are using a CoordinatorLayout as the root of your layout you can add this line to proper handle the behavior when a SnackBar is visible.

 app:layout_behavior="eu.long1.spacetablayout.SpaceTabLayoutBehavior" 

XML Example

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/activity_main"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
        android:id="@+id/viewPager"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginBottom="56dp" />

    <eu.long1.spacetablayout.SpaceTabLayout
        android:id="@+id/spaceTabLayout"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:layout_behavior="eu.long1.spacetablayout.SpaceTabLayoutBehavior"
        app:number_of_tabs="five"
        app:starting_position="three" />

</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

Code implementation

In your MainActivity.java you need to initialize the SpaceTabLayout like this:

    SpaceTabLayout tabLayout;
    
        @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    
            //add the fragments you want to display in a List
            List<Fragment> fragmentList = new ArrayList<>();
            fragmentList.add(new FragmentA());
            fragmentList.add(new FragmentB());
            fragmentList.add(new FragmentC());
            
            ViewPager viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.viewPager);
            tabLayout = (SpaceTabLayout) findViewById(R.id.spaceTabLayout);
            
            //we need the savedInstanceState to get the position
            tabLayout.initialize(viewPager, getSupportFragmentManager(), 
                            fragmentList, savedInstanceState);
        }
    
    
        //we need the outState to save the position
        @Override
        protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
            tabLayout.saveState(outState);
            super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
        }
