Android 5.0 Material Style Sheets

Question

Does Android 5.0 have material-style tabs? I know that in Dev Preview they were still in Holo style. I was wondering if the 5.0 tabbed material style was updated; I am currently using PagerSlidingTabStrip for my tabs, but this has not yet been updated using Material design.

In particular, does the support library support the implementation of material tabs? The Play Store running on 4.x has those tabs, but I'm not sure if this is a regular Google implementation or not.

Original answer:

Check out the latest version of Google Play (below).

They use SlidingTabsColors (not SlidingTabsBasic), but with colors. You need to look at these two files: SlidingTabLayout.java and SlidingTabStrip.java and just change the color to match the color of the ActionBar / TooBar.

You will also notice that when scrolling left / right, the text color of the title bar will become “white”, and unmarked headings will be “gray”.

For example (how to change the indicator color):

 class SlidingTabStrip extends LinearLayout { // change the strip color private static final int DEFAULT_SELECTED_INDICATOR_COLOR = 0xFF33B5E5; ... } 

Please see here: https://developer.android.com/samples/SlidingTabsColors/index.html
