setOnTabSelectedListener is deprecated
AndroidAndroid Problem Overview
I always see a crossed out line setOnTabSelectedListener for the following code
viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
viewPager.addOnPageChangeListener(new TabLayout.TabLayoutOnPageChangeListener(tabLayout));
tabLayout.setOnTabSelectedListener(new TabLayout.OnTabSelectedListener() {
@Override
public void onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
viewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition());
}
}
And the error shown is:
> setOnTabSelectedListener is deprecated
However, the program seems to work just fine. May I know what's going on?

Deprecated means that they decided this is not a good way to do it or they have found a better way of doing it, and this deprecated method will be removed in the future.
The fix is to use addOnTabSelectedListener instead of setOnTabSelectedListener.
It works almost the same way.
The difference is that with addOnTabSelectedListener
:
- you can add multiple listeners. With
setOnTabSelectedListener
you could only have one. - you should remove the listener when you're done with it, with removeOnTabSelectedListener.
General rule of thumb: never use deprecated methods.
Solution 2 - Android
As setOnTabSelectedListener
is deprecated now, you can use the new method
addOnTabSelectedListener(OnTabSelectedListener)
This change allows to add multiple tab selection listeners to a single TabLayout
.
Solution 3 - Android
in kotlin usage like below code;
tabLayoutView.addOnTabSelectedListener(object : TabLayout.OnTabSelectedListener {
override fun onTabReselected(p0: TabLayout.Tab?) {
}
override fun onTabUnselected(p0: TabLayout.Tab?) {
}
override fun onTabSelected(p0: TabLayout.Tab?) {
viewPager.currentItem = tabLayoutView.selectedTabPosition
}
})
Solution 4 - Android
Use below codes instead :
tablayout.addOnTabSelectedListener(new TabLayout.ViewPagerOnTabSelectedListener(viewPager));
viewPager.addOnPageChangeListener(new TabLayout.TabLayoutOnPageChangeListener(tablayout));
And if you want to sync them when clicking on tabs or swiping the viewpager above codes are the key for syncing.
