Answer 1

1. Design a custom view for each TAB .
2. Set custom view to each TAB by using TAB.setCustomView(custom_View)

Try this:

    // Tab
    Tab tab = YourTabLayout.getTabAt(position);

    // Get Custom view using LayoutInflater
    // ...........

    // Set custom view
    tab.setCustomView(custom_View);

Answer 2

You will need to add a custom View to each tab. so once you have your ViewPager and Adapter all set up.

Iterate over the tabs and add custom views.

something like:

for (int i = 0; i < tabLayout.getTabCount(); i++) {
    TabLayout.Tab tab = tabLayout.getTabAt(i);
    tab.setCustomView(createCustomViewForTab(i);
}
