[TabLayout] TabLayout crashes randomly.

Description: For simple implementation, I have code that removes all tabs and adds them in one cycle. The line listView.removeAllTabs() crashes intermittently.

Expected behavior: Tabs are updated with the newest list reliable, all the time.

Source code: Code:

listView.removeAllTabs()
list.forEach {
    val tab = listView.newTab()
    tab.text = it
    listView.addTab(tab)
}

XML:

<com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout
        android:id="@+id/layout_currency_tab"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="32dp"
        android:overScrollMode="always"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@id/action_bar"
        app:tabIndicatorColor="@color/text_regular"
        app:tabIndicatorFullWidth="false"
        app:tabMode="scrollable"
        app:tabTextAppearance="@style/CurrencyCodeTab"
        app:tabTextColor="@color/text_regular" />

Will close it since we’re not able to reproduce it and you haven’t seen this anymore. Feel free to reopen and attach a sample app if the issue comes up again

Yep, after adding the <item name="android:textColorHighlight">@color/controlHighlight</item> in the theme the error is gone and the users no longer need to clear app data.
