Text for selected item and icons for rest

[vipulyaara]

Thanks to the flexibility of smartTabLayout, I have experimented with icons and text in tabs successfully. I am using both text and icons and using TabProvider to implement it. But I am not sure how to show text for the tab item when it is seletced and show icons for rest. So basically, I want to set visibility of text to visible only for the item that is selected. (Kind of like Tinder's home tab)

Hi, @vipulyaara

By creating a CustomLayout, you may be able to control if override the setSelected method.

For example,

public class CustomLayout extends FrameLayout {

  TextView textView;

  @Override
  public void setSelected(boolean isSelected) {
    textView.setVisibility(...);
  }

}

SmartTabLayout calls the View#setSelected method of the selected TabView.

Is my understanding correct? I'm sorry I was wrong meaning because never used Tinder
