如果你使用TabLayout没有viewPager，这有助于

 mTitles = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.tabItems);
    mIcons = getResources().obtainTypedArray(R.array.tabIcons);
    for (int i = 0; i < mTitles.length; i++) {

        tabs.addTab(tabs.newTab().setText(mTitles[i]).setIcon(mIcons.getDrawable(i)));
        if (i == 0) {
            /*For setting selected position 0 at start*/
            Objects.requireNonNull(Objects.requireNonNull(tabs.getTabAt(i)).getIcon()).setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(getApplicationContext(), R.color.colorPrimary), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
        }
    }

    tabs.addOnTabSelectedListener(new TabLayout.OnTabSelectedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
            Objects.requireNonNull(tab.getIcon()).setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(getApplicationContext(), R.color.colorPrimary), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
        }

        @Override
        public void onTabUnselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
            Objects.requireNonNull(tab.getIcon()).setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(getApplicationContext(), R.color.white), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
        }

        @Override
        public void onTabReselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {

        }
    });

试试这个方法。

tabLayout.setTabTextColors(getResources().getColor(R.color.colorHintTextLight),
                           getResources().getColor(R.color.colorPrimaryTextLight));

对于材质组件库提供的TabLayout，只需使用selectTab方法:

TabLayout tabLayout = findViewById(R.id.tab_layout);
tabLayout.selectTab(tabLayout.getTabAt(index));

它需要版本为1.1.0。

你可以试着用这个来解决:

TabLayout tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tabs);
tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(mViewPager);

TabLayout.Tab tab = tabLayout.getTabAt(pos);
if (tab != null) {
    tab.select();
}

我是这样解决的:

void selectPage(int pageIndex){
    tabLayout.setScrollPosition(pageIndex,0f,true);
    viewPager.setCurrentItem(pageIndex);
}

结合不同的答案可以得出:

new Handler().postDelayed(() -> {
  myViewPager.setCurrentItem(position, true);
  myTabLayout.setScrollPosition(position, 0f, true);
},
100);
