As you can see, the height of the tabs is a bit low so the indicator override the text. So I need to increase the tab bar height.

The problem is I can't increase the height of the tabs further. Because of new android policy that limit tabs height ( it is explained here: Change Actionbar height on Android JellyBean).

Then how did google do that? Is there any tutorial to make a custom tab bar, or is there a trick to by pass limit of tab bar height?

Thank you very much for reading my quesion. [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/DBqDb.png [2]: https://i.sstatic.net/CGaNw.png
