android:textAllCaps="false" not working for TabLayout design Support
UPDATE FOR DESIGN LIBRARY 23.2.0+
The original answer doesn't work with design library 23.2.0 or later. Thanks for @fahmad6 pointed out in comment, in case someone missed that comment, I'll put it here. You need to set both textAllCaps
and android:textAllCaps
to false
to disable all capitalize setting.
<style name="MyCustomTextAppearance" parent="TextAppearance.Design.Tab"> <item name="textAllCaps">false</item> <item name="android:textAllCaps">false</item></style>
ORIGINAL ANSWER
By default, tabs are created by TabLayout sets the textAllCaps property to be true, you have to define a style making this flag false.
<style name="MyCustomTabLayout" parent="Widget.Design.TabLayout"> <item name="tabTextAppearance">@style/MyCustomTextAppearance</item></style><style name="MyCustomTextAppearance" parent="TextAppearance.Design.Tab"> <item name="textAllCaps">false</item></style>
@Paresh Mayani answer is correct however you can create only tab style
<style name="MyCustomTextAppearance" parent="TextAppearance.Design.Tab"> <item name="textAllCaps">false</item></style>
And use it using
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout app:tabTextAppearance="@style/MyCustomTextAppearance" .../>
