Custom styling of com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout

I am using the new Google Material Components for Android



Currently, I am trying to give a custom look for Tablayout (com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout).



I have created a style as follows:



<style name="AppTheme.TabLayout" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.TabLayout">
<item name="android:background">@color/colorPrimary</item>
</style>


However, upon applying this theme, the tab indicator becomes invisible.



Without theme:



enter image description here



With theme:



enter image description here



Also, I tried other things like changing tabIndicatorColor and still not working!



How do I fix this? Which is the correct way to change the colors/theme of Material Components?

          With these changes, it works as expected:



          <com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout
          android:id="@+id/tabLayout"
          style="@style/AppTheme.TabLayout"

          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          app:layout_collapseMode="pin"
          app:tabGravity="fill"
          app:tabTextAppearance="@style/customFontStyle">

          //Tab items maybe

          </com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout>


          Styles.xml:



          <style name="AppTheme.TabLayout" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.TabLayout">

            I was using android:theme instead of style and that's what caused the issue!
