TabLayout Tab Title text in Lower Case

I have used android.support.design.widget.TabLayout in my application with Min SDK 15.

By default it takes Tab title in capitals but I want it to make in "textCapsWord". I tried adding Style as suggested here and here. But unfortunate both doesn't work.

If you add the following line to your TabLayout it should work:

app:tabTextAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.Widget.TabWidget"

Use it like this:

<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
                    android:id="@+id/tabLayout"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    app:tabIndicatorColor="@android:color/white"
                    app:tabIndicatorHeight="2dp"
                    app:tabTextAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.Widget.TabWidget"
                    app:tabSelectedTextColor="@android:color/white"
                    app:tabTextColor="@android:color/white" />

You can just customize and make your title using below code,

 <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
    android:id="@+id/tabs"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:tabIndicatorColor="@color/colorLightPink"
    app:tabMode="scrollable"
    app:tabSelectedTextColor="@color/colorLightPink"
    app:tabTextAppearance="@style/CustomTextAppearanceTab"
    app:tabTextColor="@color/colorGreyDark" /> 

CustomTextAppearanceTab defines the text style which is written in style.xml file

<style name="CustomTextAppearanceTab" parent="TextAppearance.Design.Tab">
    <item name="textAllCaps">false</item>
    <item name="android:textAllCaps">false</item>
</style>

you can customize your tab title with color as well as Lower case by using below code

<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
    android:id="@+id/sliding_tabs"
    style="@style/customTabLayout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="@dimen/tabHeight"
    android:background="@color/blurred_black"
    android:divider="@drawable/blue"
    android:stretchColumns="*"
    app:tabMode="fixed" />

customTabLayout is style which is written in style.xml file

<style name="customTabLayout" parent="Widget.Design.TabLayout">
    <item name="tabIndicatorColor">@color/default_back</item>
    <item name="tabIndicatorHeight">2dp</item>
    <item name="tabPaddingStart">12dp</item>
    <item name="tabPaddingEnd">12dp</item>
    <item name="textAllCaps">false</item>
    <item name="android:dividerPadding">3dp</item>
    <item name="android:textSize">18sp</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/default_back</item>
    <item name="android:divider">@android:color/black</item>
    <item name="tabBackground">?attr/selectableItemBackground</item>
    <item name="tabSelectedTextColor">@color/default_back</item>
</style>

Hope will help it out in other way.

This Worked For Me...

<style name="TabLayoutStyle" parent="Widget.Design.TabLayout">
    <item name="tabTextAppearance">@style/TabTextAppearance</item>
</style>

<style name="TabTextAppearance" parent="TextAppearance.Design.Tab">
    <item name="textAllCaps">false</item>
</style>

This works for me perfectly.

      <com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:tabContentStart="20dp"
        app:tabTextAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.Widget.TabWidget"
        app:tabMode="scrollable">

        <com.google.android.material.tabs.TabItem
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="About" />

        <com.google.android.material.tabs.TabItem
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Attractions" />

        <com.google.android.material.tabs.TabItem
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Things To Do" />

        <com.google.android.material.tabs.TabItem
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Best Time To Visit" />

        <com.google.android.material.tabs.TabItem
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="How To Reach" />

    </com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout>

We need to change the value of the attribute of tabTextAppearence in Tablayout.

    <com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout
        android:id="@+id/tabLayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="60dp"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        android:background="@color/white"
        app:tabMode="fixed"
        app:tabGravity="fill"
        app:tabTextAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        app:tabSelectedTextColor="@color/green"
        app:tabTextColor="@color/grey_border">

        <com.google.android.material.tabs.TabItem
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="@string/general" />

        <com.google.android.material.tabs.TabItem
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="@string/admin" />
    </com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout>
