How do I change a tab background color when using TabLayout?

by

What finally worked for me is similar to what @如果我是DJ suggested, but the tabBackground should be in the layout file and not inside the style, so it looks like:

res/layout/somefile.xml:

<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
    ....
    app:tabBackground="@drawable/tab_color_selector"
    ...
    />

and the selector
res/drawable/tab_color_selector.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="@color/tab_background_selected" android:state_selected="true"/>
    <item android:drawable="@color/tab_background_unselected"/>
</selector>
