Remove the selector line under current Tab for a TabLayout

Question

I am using a TabLayout with 3 tabs. I customized the view of my tabs and therefor, I need to remove the following line under my tabs ( the screenshot doesnt come from my app):

I am NOT using a TabHost or a TabWidget and therefor, I cannot use setStripEnabled(false). Setting the background to transparent doesnt change anything as well.

Here is my xml:

<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:orientation="vertical" android:padding="4dip"
    android:layout_above="@+id/bottomcontent3"
    android:gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:background="@android:color/white"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
        android:id="@+id/comtabs"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="5dp"
        app:tabPaddingStart="0dp"
        app:tabPaddingEnd="0dp"
        app:tabMode="fixed"
        app:tabGravity="fill"
        android:background="@android:color/white" />

    <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:id="@+id/compager"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">
    </android.support.v4.view.ViewPager>

</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

All the answer I found were using TabHost, TabWidget. In my case, I'm using one TabLayout and three Tab. How can I remove this line in this case? Thanks a lot.

EDIT Some methods from TabLayout can't be resolved in my code for some reasons. There is the java code I use:

TabLayout tabLayout = (TabLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.comtabs);
        tabLayout.setTabMode(TabLayout.MODE_FIXED);


        // add tabs
        tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab());
        tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab());
        tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab());

        RelativeLayout layout1 = (RelativeLayout) inflater.inflate(R.layout.communitytablayoutleft, container, false);
        RelativeLayout layout2 = (RelativeLayout) inflater.inflate(R.layout.communitytablayout, container, false);
        RelativeLayout layout3 = (RelativeLayout) inflater.inflate(R.layout.communitytablayoutright, container, false);
        tabLayout.setTabGravity(TabLayout.GRAVITY_FILL);



        ViewPager pager = (ViewPager) view.findViewById(R.id.compager);
        CommunityPagerFragment adapter = new CommunityPagerFragment(getChildFragmentManager());

        pager.setAdapter(adapter);
        tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(pager);
        tabLayout.setOnTabSelectedListener(this);


        ((TextView)layout1.findViewById(R.id.tabtext)).setText(tabs[0]);
        ((TextView)layout2.findViewById(R.id.tabtext)).setText(tabs[1]);
        ((TextView)layout3.findViewById(R.id.tabtext)).setText(tabs[2]);



        tabLayout.getTabAt(0).setCustomView(layout1);
        tabLayout.getTabAt(1).setCustomView(layout2);
        tabLayout.getTabAt(2).setCustomView(layout3);
        //tabLayout.set

        return view;

and its import:

import android.support.design.widget.TabLayout;

As the two answers suggested, the key was the tabIndicatorHeight attribute.

However the method from the API was, for some reasons, unable to be solved. In this case you have to fix this directly from the xml, this way:

        app:tabIndicatorHeight="0dp"

In your <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout> Layout.

As an example:

<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
    android:id="@+id/comtabs"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_margin="5dp"
    app:tabIndicatorHeight="0dp"
    app:tabPaddingStart="0dp"
    app:tabPaddingEnd="0dp"
    app:tabMode="fixed"
    app:tabGravity="fill"
    android:background="@android:color/white" />
