How can I set the height of tabs in Android a TabLayout?

android, android-tablayout

Solution

set a layout_height in dps instead of wrap_content this could differ in different display sizes but if you wanna set a height dynamically

getApplication.getResources().getDisplayMetrics()

get your current height and calculate the height according to that

Problem

I Have this TabLayout in Android and wanted to make the tabs a little heigher than the default (48dp) ``` <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout android:id="@+id/contentTabs" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" style="@style/Theme.Zhaw.TabLayout" app:tabMode="fixed" app:tabGravity="fill"/> ``` Here is the Style Theme.Zhaw.TabLayout: ``` <style name="Theme.Zhaw.TabLayout" parent="Widget.Design.TabLayout"> <item name="tabIndicatorColor">@color/text_white</item> <item name="tabIndicatorHeight">4dp</item> <item name="tabPaddingStart">6dp</item> <item name="tabPaddingEnd">6dp</item> <item name="tabBackground">@color/colorPrimary</item> <item name="tabTextAppearance">@style/Theme.Zhaw.TabLayoutText</item> <item name="tabSelectedTextColor">@color/text_white</item> </style> ``` tabIndicatorHeight can set the height of the small indicator (active tab) in the tab. but how can we set the height of the tab itself?
