Android TabLayout select first Tab on Startup

I had a similar problem with a custom tab layout I was implementing, when starting the activity the first tab wouldn't appear in the selected state but tab 2,3,4... would when auto-selected on startup.

The solution that helped me was in onResume(), quickly select the second tab then return to the first tab.

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        mTabLayout.getTabAt(1).select();
        mTabLayout.getTabAt(0).select();
    } 

I got it. The solution is simple, use (once) onTabReselected and overwrite listener there.

tabLayout.setOnTabSelectedListener(new OnTabSelectedListener() {

    @Override
    public void onTabSelected(Tab tab) {
        selectTab(tab);
    }

    private void selectTab(Tab tab) {
        // do something                 
    }

    @Override
    public void onTabReselected(Tab tab) {
        if (tab.getPosition() == 0) {
            selectTab(tab);

            tabLayout.setOnTabSelectedListener(new OnTabSelectedListener() {

                @Override
                public void onTabSelected(Tab tab) {
                    selectTab(tab);
                }

                @Override
                public void onTabReselected(Tab arg0) {                             
                }

                @Override
                public void onTabUnselected(Tab arg0) {                             
                }
            });

        }
    }


    @Override
    public void onTabUnselected(Tab tab) {
    }

});
