I have difficulties changing the text size of the tabs of design library tablayout (android.support.design.widget.TabLayout).
I managed to change it by assigning tabTextAppearance in TabLayout
app:tabTextAppearance="@style/MyTabLayoutTextAppearance"
the following style
<style name="MyTabLayoutTextAppearance" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title.Inverse">
<item name="android:textSize">14sp</item>
</style>
but I have 2 side effects :
1) I lost the accent color of the selected tab
2) The tab text is not capitalized any more.
This question is related to

I have similar problem and similar resolution:
1) Size
in the xml you have TabLayout,
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
...
app:tabTextAppearance="@style/CustomTextStyle"
...
/>
then in style,
<style name="CustomTextStyle" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance.Widget.TabWidget">
<item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
<item name="android:textAllCaps">true</item>
</style>
If you do not want the characters in uppercase put false in "android:textAllCaps"
2) Text color of selected or unselected Tabs,
TabLayout tabLayout = (TabLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.tabs);
tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(viewPager);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
tabLayout.setTabTextColors(getResources().getColorStateList(R.color.tab_selector,null));
} else {
tabLayout.setTabTextColors(getResources().getColorStateList(R.color.tab_selector));
}
then in res/color/tab_selector.xml
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:color="@color/white" android:state_selected="true" />
<item android:color="@color/white" />
I was using Android Pie and nothing seemed to worked so I played around with app:tabTextAppearance attribute. I know its not the perfect answer but might help someone.
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
android:id="@+id/tabs"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:tabMode="fixed"
app:tabTextAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Caption" />
> **create custom style in styles.xml** <style name="customStylename"
> parent="Theme.AppCompat">
> <item name="android:textSize">22sp</item> <item name="android:color">colors/primarydark</item>
> </style>
>
> **link to your material same name **
> <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
> android:layout_width="match_parent"
> android:layout_height="wrap_content"
> android:id="@+id/tabs"
> app:tabTextAppearance="@style/customStylename"
> />
this is my solution
XML FILE IN VALUES
<style name="tab">
<item name="android:textSize">@dimen/_10ssp</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#FFFFFF</item>
</style>
TAB LAYOUT
<com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="@dimen/_27sdp"
android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/_10sdp"
android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/_10sdp"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:tabTextAppearance="@style/tab"
app:tabGravity="fill"
android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/_10sdp"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
>
<com.google.android.material.tabs.TabItem
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="TAB 1"
android:scrollbarSize="@dimen/_4sdp"
/>
<com.google.android.material.tabs.TabItem
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scrollbarSize="@dimen/_6sdp"
android:text="TAB 2" />
<com.google.android.material.tabs.TabItem
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scrollbarSize="@dimen/_4sdp"
android:text="TAB 3" />
</com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout>
Try the snipped which is mentioned below, it works for me also.
In my layout xml
where I have my TabLayout
, have added style to the TabLayout
like below :
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
android:id="@+id/tab_layout"
style="@style/MyCustomTabLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:tabGravity="fill"
app:tabMode="fixed" />
and in my style.xml
I have defined the style that is used in my layout xml, check code for styles added below :
<style name="MyCustomTabLayout" parent="Widget.Design.TabLayout">
<item name="android:background">YOUR BACKGROUND COLOR</item>
<item name="tabTextAppearance">@style/MyCustomTabText</item>
<item name="tabSelectedTextColor">SELECTED TAB TEXT COLOR</item>
<item name="tabIndicatorColor">SELECTED TAB INDICATOR COLOR</item>
</style>
<style name="MyCustomTabText" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat.Button">
<item name="android:textSize">YOUR TEXT SIZE</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
<item name="android:textColor">@android:color/white</item>
</style>
I hope it will work for you.....
Go on using tabTextAppearance as you did but
1) to fix the capital letter side effect add textAllCap in your style :
<style name="MyTabLayoutTextAppearance" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title.Inverse">
<item name="android:textSize">14sp</item>
<item name="android:textAllCaps">true</item>
</style>
2) to fix the selected tab color side effect add in TabLayout xml the following library attributes :
app:tabSelectedTextColor="@color/color1"
app:tabTextColor="@color/color2"
Hope this helps.
TabLayout tab_layout = (TabLayout)findViewById(R.id.tab_Layout_);
private void changeTabsFont() {
Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getActivity().getAssets(), "fonts/"+ Constants.FontStyle);
ViewGroup vg = (ViewGroup) tab_layout.getChildAt(0);
int tabsCount = vg.getChildCount();
for (int j = 0; j < tabsCount; j++) {
ViewGroup vgTab = (ViewGroup) vg.getChildAt(j);
int tabChildsCount = vgTab.getChildCount();
for (int i = 0; i < tabChildsCount; i++) {
View tabViewChild = vgTab.getChildAt(i);
if (tabViewChild instanceof TextView) {
((TextView) tabViewChild).setTypeface(font);
((TextView) tabViewChild).setTextSize(15);
}
}
}
}
This code is works for me using tablayout. It will change size of fonts and also change font style.

This code works for Tablayout change text color,type face (font style) and also text size.
<style name="MineCustomTabText" parent="TextAppearance.Design.Tab">
<item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
</style>
Use is in TabLayout
like this
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
app:tabTextAppearance="@style/MineCustomTabText"
...
/>
Work on api 22 & 23 Make this style :
<style name="TabLayoutStyle" parent="Base.Widget.Design.TabLayout">
<item name="android:textSize">12sp</item>
<item name="android:textAllCaps">true</item>
</style>
And apply it to your tablayout :
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
android:id="@+id/contentTabs"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:background="@drawable/list_gray_border"
app:tabTextAppearance="@style/TabLayoutStyle"
app:tabSelectedTextColor="@color/colorPrimaryDark"
app:tabTextColor="@color/colorGrey"
app:tabMode="fixed"
app:tabGravity="fill"/>
Do as following.
1. Add the Style to the XML
<style name="MyTabLayoutTextAppearance" parent="TextAppearance.Design.Tab">
<item name="android:textSize">14sp</item>
</style>
2. Apply Style
Find the Layout containing the TabLayout and add the style. The added line is bold.
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
android:id="@+id/tabs"
app:tabTextAppearance="@style/MyTabLayoutTextAppearance"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
