W/StaticLayout: maxLineHeight should not be -1. maxLines:1 lineCount:1

Question

so im getting this W/StaticLayout: maxLineHeight should not be -1. maxLines:1 lineCount:1 spamming the logs, the answer I've read here suggests its a bug that was fixed but is still present, but wondered if anyone has a work around, the user that posted the question found it was an issue when using max lines and ellipsize but im not using either, if anyone can help I'd appreciate it, i have a view pager inside a view pager that displays a card with a bottom navigation view and some tabs (please don't question the design there is a method in this madness) here is my inner view pager layout

i set these attributes to my tablayout

tabLayout.setTabGravity(TabLayout.GRAVITY_FILL);
tabLayout.setTabMode(TabLayout.MODE_FIXED);

and i set tab icons and text like this

 private void setUpMaterialTabs(String[] labels,int[] tabIcons){
    for (int i = 0; i < labels.length; i++){
      int index = i * 2;
      Tab tab = tabLayout.getTabAt(i);

      if (theme.equals(Constants.THEME_YELLOW)){
        Objects.requireNonNull(tab).setIcon(tabIcons[index]);

      }else{
        Objects.requireNonNull(tab).setIcon(tabIcons[index + 1]);
      }
      tab.setText(labels[i]);
    }
    setTabTextColor(theme, getActivity());
  }

Answer 1

ok using my own tab avoids the error

for (int i = 0; i < tabLabels.length; i++) {
  TextView textView;
  int index = i * 2;

  if (theme.equals(Constants.THEME_YELLOW)) {
    textView = (TextView) LayoutInflater.from(getActivity())
        .inflate(R.layout.custom_tab_dark, null);
    textView.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(0, tabImage[index], 0, 0);
  } else {
    textView = (TextView) LayoutInflater.from(getActivity()).inflate(R.layout.custom_tab, null);
    textView.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(0, tabImage[index + 1], 0, 0);
  }
  textView.setText(tabLabels[i]);
  tabLayout.getTabAt(i).setCustomView(textView);

}
