make Scrollable or fixed mode in Tablayout for dyn

Question

I want tabMode scrollable with tabFilled with tabs(having single line title). As number of Tab and their title is dynamic in my app. How could I handle them when I set given property. Title of tabs come's in two lines.when number of tab is greater.

    app:tabGravity="fill"
    app:tabMaxWidth="0dp"
    app:tabMode="fixed"

and when number of tabs are less and tabMode is set to scrollable. then extra space shown like below.

how could I make a Tablayout to work in all phones and with one line text . Simply remove spaces for second screen and make single line for 1st Image.

I know I have to change it's tabMode and tabGravity for these two cases but How could I know when to change it's tabMode and tabGravity. It may be a case that I have only three tab's but their title are long and they are filling entire space. and some time we have 5 tabs with little title . They easily fit's in screen.

USE in xml like this

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"

        </android.support.v4.view.ViewPager>

    </FrameLayout>

In java class Where you are using this add below code

ViewPager pager = (ViewPager) rootView.findViewById(R.id.pager);
            pager.setAdapter(YourPagerAdapter);
 SlidingTabLayout tabs = (SlidingTabLayout) rootView.findViewById(R.id.tabs);
            tabs.setDistributeEvenly(true);
            tabs.setSelectedIndicatorColors(android.R.color.white,android.R.color.white,android.R.color.white);
            tabs.setCustomTabColorizer(new SlidingTabLayout.TabColorizer() {
                @Override

Answer 2

I come up with a new and better solution..

        for (String module : titleTabs) {
            mTabLayout.addTab(mTabLayout.newTab().setText(module));  
        }

        mTabLayout.post(new Runnable()
        {
            @Override
            public void run()
            {
                // don't forget to add Tab first before measuring..
                DisplayMetrics displayMetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
                ((Activity) mContext).getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displayMetrics);
                int widthS = displayMetrics.widthPixels;
                mTabLayout.measure(View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
                int widthT = mTabLayout.getMeasuredWidth();

                if (widthS > widthT) {
                    mTabLayout.setTabMode(TabLayout.MODE_FIXED);
                    mTabLayout.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
                            LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
                }
            }
        });

where tablayout in xml must have tabGravity Fill and tabMode to Scrollable

<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
        android:id="@+id/tab_layout"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
        app:tabGravity="fill"
        app:tabIndicatorHeight="4dp"
        app:tabMode="scrollable"/>
