android tab selected color,android - Change tab text color when selected - Stack Overflow

You can use this code snippet

prevTab = tabHost.getCurrentTab();// Keep track of the default tab

tabHost.setOnTabChangedListener(new TabHost.OnTabChangeListener(){ //tabhost is a variable of type TabHost, which will contain all your tabs

@Override

public void onTabChanged(String id) {

int tab = tabHost.getCurrentTab();

TextView tv = (TextView) getTabWidget().getChildAt(tab).findViewById(android.R.id.title);

tv.setTextColor(Color.BLUE);//Set selected tab colour to something you want

if(prevTab!=-1){// If there was a previously selected tab, set it back to a default colour as it is now unselected

TextView tv1 = (TextView) getTabWidget().getChildAt(prevTab).findViewById(android.R.id.title);

tv1.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);

}

prevTab = tab; //Update this newly selected tab to the currently selected tab, for same logic to repeat for future tab changes

}

});

Put this code snippet in your onCreate() method after all tab related initializations are done.
