Disable multi touch for tabs in TabLayout

I have used android.support.design.widget.TabLayout in my app and have added 4 tabs to it. I am able to click on all the tabs even when i had already kept one of them pressed. I am wondering how i can prevent the other tabs from being clickable when any one of the tabs is already pressed. i had already tried setting split motion events to false and using touchevent method, but it didn't work. Thanks in advance.

You need to set split motion events to false on the child container inside the TabLayout, not on the TabLayout itself. Something like this:

((ViewGroup) tabLayout.getChildAt(0)).setMotionEventSplittingEnabled(false);

Setting split motion events to false will only block multitouch from the immediate children of the ViewGroup it is set upon. TabLayout extends HorizontalScrollView and therefore contains a single child ViewGroup which, in turn, contains the actual tabs that receive the click events to be blocked.
