How to add margin between tab backgrounds inside tab layout android?-CodePudding

Tabs with margin between them and selected tab has a tick on it

CodePudding user response：

You can add those two attributes:

<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
...
app:tabPaddingStart="10dp" 
app:tabPaddingEnd="10dp" />

Welcome, Keeping views like this(that tick) on top of another view is called Overlapping Layouts, you can do it by using relative layout, the gallery view and image view will overlap

<RelativeLayout 
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:id="@ id/gallerylayout"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="fill_parent">
  <Gallery
    android:id="@ id/overview"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  />
  <ImageView
    android:id="@ id/navigmaske"
    android:background="#0000" /*use #000000 for black colour*/
    android:src="@drawable/navigmask" //put your image here
    android:scaleType="fitXY"
    android:layout_alignTop="@id/overview"
    android:layout_alignBottom="@id/overview"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  />
</RelativeLayout>
