TabLayout not filling width when tabMode set to &#

Question

I have added TabLayout (from support library v22.2.1) to my Fragment as:

<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
        android:id="@+id/tabs"
        style="@style/MyColorAccentTabLayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:tabMode="scrollable"/>

The issue is that when the Fragment's orientation is landscape (before or after the initial creation of the fragment), the TabLayout doesn't match the width of the Fragment (yes the parent has its width set to match_parent as well).

When screen width is small (i.e not all tabs can be shown at same time):

When screen width is big enough to show all tabs (see the blank space at the right):

If I change tabMode to fixed, width is filled but tabs are too small. Is there any proper solution out there?

Answer 1

Try this one, it's a workaround which sets tabMaxWidth="0dp", tabGravity="fill" and tabMode="fixed".

 <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
     android:id="@+id/container"
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="match_parent"
     app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">
     <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
         android:id="@+id/tabs"
         android:layout_width="match_parent"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         app:tabMaxWidth="0dp"
         app:tabGravity="fill"
         app:tabMode="fixed"/>
</android.support.v4.view.ViewPager>

Please check this i think it works

Answer 3

please use this it will solve this problem definitely

<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:tabMaxWidth="0dp"
        app:tabGravity="fill"
        app:tabMode="fixed" />

Answer 4

You should set app:tabMode="fixed" when you want to show tabs 'fill'.

**<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
            android:id="@+id/tab_layout"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_below="@+id/toolbar"
            android:background="#353535"
            app:tabMode="fixed"
            android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
            app:tabIndicatorColor="@color/red"
            android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" />**

Answer 5

@dtx12 answer doesn't work if any tab title is bigger than (measuredWidth/ tabCount).

There is my TabLayout subclass for this situation (in Kotlin). I hope this will help someone.

class FullWidthTabLayout : TabLayout {

    constructor(context: Context?) : super(context)

    constructor(context: Context?, attrs: AttributeSet?) : super(context, attrs)

    constructor(context: Context?, attrs: AttributeSet?, defStyleAttr: Int) : super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr)

    override fun onLayout(changed: Boolean, l: Int, t: Int, r: Int, b: Int) {
        super.onLayout(changed, l, t, r, b)
        if (changed) {
            val widths = mutableListOf<Int>()
            for (i in 0..this.tabCount - 1) {
                widths.add(this.getTabAt(i)!!.customView!!.width)
            }

            if (widths.sum() < this.measuredWidth) {
                var equalPart: Long = this.measuredWidth.toLong() / this.tabCount.toLong()
                var biggerWidths = widths.filter { it > equalPart }
                var smallerWidths = widths.filter { it <= equalPart }
                var rest: Long = this.measuredWidth.toLong() - biggerWidths.sum()
                while (biggerWidths.size != 0) {
                    equalPart = rest / smallerWidths.size
                    biggerWidths = smallerWidths.filter { it >= equalPart }
                    smallerWidths = smallerWidths.filter { it < equalPart }
                    rest -= biggerWidths.sum()
                }
                val minWidth = (rest / smallerWidths.size) + 10 //dont know why there is small gap on the end, thats why +10
                for (i in 0..this.tabCount - 1) {
                    this.getTabAt(i)!!.customView!!.minimumWidth = minWidth.toInt()
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
