I have a Xamarin Forms Tabbed Page with 5 children:

enter image description here

As the picture shows, the icon color for the selected and unselected tab are different. I want the same thing to happen on the each tabs Title. Is this possible?

Edit: This feature is working perfectly in iOS. Im looking for a renderer specific for Android.

Below is the Android renderer code responsible for changing the color of the selected and unselected icon of the children:

public class MyTabbedPageRenderer: TabbedPageRenderer
{
   bool setup;
   ViewPager viewPager;
   TabLayout tabLayout;

   protected override void OnElementPropertyChanged(object sender, PropertyChangedEventArgs e)
   {
      base.OnElementPropertyChanged(sender, e);

      if (setup)
         return;

      if (e.PropertyName == "Renderer")
      {
         viewPager = (ViewPager)ViewGroup.GetChildAt(0);
         tabLayout = (TabLayout)ViewGroup.GetChildAt(1);
         setup = true;

         ColorStateList colors = null;
         if ((int)Build.VERSION.SdkInt >= 23)
         {
            colors = Resources.GetColorStateList(Resource.Color.icon_tab, Forms.Context.Theme);
         }
         else
         {
            colors = Resources.GetColorStateList(Resource.Color.icon_tab);
         }

         for (int i = 0; i < tabLayout.TabCount; i++)
         {
            var tab = tabLayout.GetTabAt(i);
            var icon = tab.Icon;
            if (icon != null)
            {
               icon = Android.Support.V4.Graphics.Drawable.DrawableCompat.Wrap(icon);
  Android.Support.V4.Graphics.Drawable.DrawableCompat.SetTintList(icon, colors);
             }
         }
      }
   }
 }

In Resources - > Color folder I have the following xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:color="#2196F3"  android:state_selected="true" />
    <item android:color="#b2b2b2" />
</selector>

Try using the OnAppearing() and OnDisappearing() Overrides on each tab / page to change the color or image for the icons.

Go to your Project.Droid, folder Resources, layout, and Click with the wright button, Open with, XML Editor. And in the file, edit:

app:tabSelectedTextColor="#ffffff

Change the #ffffff for your code color. I Hope it works.

You also can change app:tabTextColor="#80ffffff" to the same color as the Icon
