Android TabLayout Track change

Question

I am trying to catch the TabLayout changing when it is either clicked or the user swipes, but unfortunately Ive had little success getting this to work.

I was trying to add a addOnLayoutChangeListener to the OnCreate for my activity that creates the actual TabLayout but with little luck.

A couple of questions:

1. Is what I am trying to do the correct and best way to do this? I intend to have 3 recycler views that will be alternated between when the user clicks the TabLayout tabs.

2. Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks again for any information or help.

Answer 1

What you are Looking for is TabLayout.setOnTabSelectedListener()

So basically when you selected or click on any tabs you will get callback. Here is sample code

tabLayout.setOnTabSelectedListener(new TabLayout.OnTabSelectedListener(){
    @Override
    public void onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab){
        int position = tab.getPosition();
    }
});

Once you have index you can update you recycler view with different dataset or rather complete dataset.
