Android TabLayout with FrameLayout

In the previous page, we created a sliding tabs using TabLayout and ViewPager. Here, we are going to create non sliding tabs using TabLayout and FrameLayout.

Items of TabLayout are implemented by adding TabItem of android support design widget.

Example of TabLayout using FrameLayout

Let's create an example of TabLayout using FrameLayout and Fragment.

File: activity.xml

Create an activity.xml file with TabLayout and FrameLayout view components.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="tablayout.example.com.tablayoutwithframelayout.MainActivity">


    <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
        android:id="@+id/tabLayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="#7367">

        <android.support.design.widget.TabItem
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Home" />

        <android.support.design.widget.TabItem
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Java" />

        <android.support.design.widget.TabItem
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Android" />

        <android.support.design.widget.TabItem
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Php" />
    </android.support.design.widget.TabLayout>

    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/frameLayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="455dp"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/tabLayout">

    </FrameLayout>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

File: build.gradle

Now gave the dependency library of TabLayout in build.gradle file.

File: MainActivity.java

package tablayout.example.com.tablayoutwithframelayout;

import android.support.design.widget.TabLayout;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentTransaction;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.FrameLayout;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    TabLayout tabLayout;
    FrameLayout frameLayout;
    Fragment fragment = null;
    FragmentManager fragmentManager;
    FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        tabLayout=(TabLayout)findViewById(R.id.tabLayout);
        frameLayout=(FrameLayout)findViewById(R.id.frameLayout);

        fragment = new HomeFragment();
        fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
        fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
        fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.frameLayout, fragment);
        fragmentTransaction.setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_OPEN);
        fragmentTransaction.commit();

        tabLayout.addOnTabSelectedListener(new TabLayout.OnTabSelectedListener() {
            @Override
            public void onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
               // Fragment fragment = null;
                switch (tab.getPosition()) {
                    case 0:
                        fragment = new HomeFragment();
                        break;
                    case 1:
                        fragment = new JavaFragment();
                        break;
                    case 2:
                        fragment = new AndroidFragment();
                        break;
                    case 3:
                        fragment = new PhpFragment();
                        break;
                }
                FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
                FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
                ft.replace(R.id.frameLayout, fragment);
                ft.setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_OPEN);
                ft.commit();
            }

            @Override
            public void onTabUnselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {

            }

            @Override
            public void onTabReselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {

            }
        });

    }
}

Now create different fragment files for all different tabs.

File: HomeFragment.java

package tablayout.example.com.tablayoutwithframelayout;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;

public class HomeFragment extends Fragment {

    public HomeFragment() {
        // Required empty public constructor
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // Inflate the layout for this fragment
        return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_home, container, false);
    }

}

File: fragment_home.xml

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="tablayout.example.com.tablayoutwithframelayout.HomeFragment">

    <!-- TODO: Update blank fragment layout -->
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:text="@string/home_fragment" />

</FrameLayout>

File: JavaFragment.java

package tablayout.example.com.tablayoutwithframelayout;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;

public class JavaFragment extends Fragment {

    public JavaFragment() {
        // Required empty public constructor
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // Inflate the layout for this fragment
        return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_java, container, false);
    }

}

File: fragment_java.xml

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="tablayout.example.com.tablayoutwithframelayout.JavaFragment">

    <!-- TODO: Update blank fragment layout -->
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:text="@string/java_fragment" />

</FrameLayout>

File: AndroidFragment.java

package tablayout.example.com.tablayoutwithframelayout;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;

public class AndroidFragment extends Fragment {

    public AndroidFragment() {
        // Required empty public constructor
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // Inflate the layout for this fragment
        return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_android, container, false);
    }

}

File: fragment_android.xml

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="tablayout.example.com.tablayoutwithframelayout.AndroidFragment">

    <!-- TODO: Update blank fragment layout -->
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:text="@string/android_fragment" />

</FrameLayout>

File: PhpFragment.java

package tablayout.example.com.tablayoutwithframelayout;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;

public class PhpFragment extends Fragment {

    public PhpFragment() {
        // Required empty public constructor
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // Inflate the layout for this fragment
        return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_php, container, false);
    }

}

File: fragment_php.xml

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="tablayout.example.com.tablayoutwithframelayout.PhpFragment">

    <!-- TODO: Update blank fragment layout -->
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:text="@string/php_fragment" />

</FrameLayout>

File: strings.xml

<resources>
    <string name="app_name">TabLayout with FrameLayout</string>

    <!-- TODO: Remove or change this placeholder text -->
    <string name="home_fragment">Home fragment</string>
    <string name="java_fragment">Java fragment</string>
    <string name="android_fragment">Android fragment</string>
