Setting a stl_customTabTextLayoutId or stl_defaultTabBackground hides the indicator about smarttablayout

Hi, @vibhorB

Oh,,, sorry.
The current version is to be able to specify the background for touch feedback.

Background do you change for each tab?
If the same background, please specify in the background of the TabLayout.

Hi @ogaclejapan

I'm having the same issue. I set stl_defaultTabBackground to a selector for touch feedback app:stl_defaultTabBackground="@drawable/bg_selector", and the indicator still gets hidden.

Here's my bg_selector:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="@color/blue" android:state_pressed="true"/>
    <item android:drawable="@color/red"/>
</selector>

Is there something missing?

In my case, specify the background of the TabLayout isn't something I need. CMIIW, it won't work for touch feedback anyway.

Thanks

Hi again @ogaclejapan

So, I managed to fix my problem. I changed my bg_selector:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_pressed="true" android:state_selected="true">
        <layer-list>
            <item android:bottom="5dp" android:drawable="@color/blue"/>
        </layer-list>
    </item>
    <item android:state_selected="true">
        <layer-list>
            <item android:bottom="5dp" android:drawable="@color/red"/>
        </layer-list>
    </item>
    <item android:state_pressed="true">
        <layer-list>
            <item android:bottom="1dp" android:drawable="@color/blue"/>
        </layer-list>
    </item>
    <item>
        <layer-list>
            <item android:bottom="1dp" android:drawable="@color/red"/>
        </layer-list>
    </item>
</selector>

Well, that's not an ideal solution, but at least fix my problem for now. The idea is to put offset at the bottom in order to make the bottom indicator visible. I have app:stl_underlineThickness="1dp" and app:stl_indicatorThickness="5dp".

Anyway, I suspect the root cause is in SmartTabLayout#populateTabStrip, specifically . If the tabView (which is TextView) background was set to specific color, it would drawn in front of the tabStrip, so the tabStrip's indicator would never visible. Maybe you should specify margin for the tabView.

Really hope you could fix this issue with the best solution.

Thanks
