TabLayout not filling width when tabMode set to 'scrollable'

AndroidAndroid Support-LibraryAndroid Tablayout

Android Problem Overview


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): enter image description here

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

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

Solution 1 - Android

androidx version:

<androidx.viewpager.widget.ViewPager
    android:id="@+id/view_pager"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" >
    <com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout
        android:id="@+id/tabs"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:tabMaxWidth="0dp"
        app:tabGravity="fill"
        app:tabMode="fixed"
        />
</androidx.viewpager.widget.ViewPager>

With more than 5 tabs

***** BELOW IS OLD ANSWER *****

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>

Solution 2 - Android

Instead of creating custom TabLayout and hacking around or creating more layouts which acts as wrapper around TabLayout only for background. Try this,

<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
    android:id="@+id/tabs"
    style="@style/MyColorAccentTabLayout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    <!-- Instead of setting app:tabBackground -->
    android:background="@color/colorAccent"
    app:tabGravity="fill"
    app:tabMode="scrollable"/>

This will set background to behind tabLayout instead of setting background behind every tab.

I guess this is the simpliest way to achieve what you want.

public class CustomTabLayout extends TabLayout {
    public CustomTabLayout(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public CustomTabLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public CustomTabLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
        super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
        try {
            if (getTabCount() == 0)
                return;
            Field field = TabLayout.class.getDeclaredField("mTabMinWidth");
            field.setAccessible(true);
            field.set(this, (int) (getMeasuredWidth() / (float) getTabCount()));
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Solution 4 - Android

Here is my 2021 Kotlin solution. It achieves the following which I couldn't do from other answers:

  • If not many tabs they expand to fill the whole width.
  • If lots of tabs they are scrollable so they aren't squished.
  • Works correctly even if tabLayout is not the full width of the screen.

To achieve this I created a subclass of TabLayout that overrides onMeasure

class ScalableTabLayout : 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 onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec: Int, heightMeasureSpec: Int) {
        val tabLayout = getChildAt(0) as ViewGroup
        val childCount = tabLayout.childCount
        if (childCount > 0) {
            val widthPixels = MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec)
            val tabMinWidth = widthPixels / childCount
            var remainderPixels = widthPixels % childCount
            tabLayout.forEachChild {
                if (remainderPixels > 0) {
                    it.minimumWidth = tabMinWidth + 1
                    remainderPixels--
                } else {
                    it.minimumWidth = tabMinWidth
                }
            }
        }
        super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec)
    }
}

And then used it in my layout file:

<com.package.name.ScalableTabLayout
    android:id="@+id/tabs"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:tabMaxWidth="0dp"
    app:tabMode="scrollable" />

both tabMaxWidth="0dp" and tabMode="scrollable" are required

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" />

Solution 6 - Android

I have tried almost all answeres, atlast found this one works like a charm.

public void dynamicSetTabLayoutMode(TabLayout tabLayout) {
            int tabWidth = calculateTabWidth(tabLayout);
            int screenWidth =  getApplicationContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics().widthPixels;
            if (tabWidth <= screenWidth) {
                tabLayout.setTabMode(TabLayout.MODE_FIXED);
            } else {
                tabLayout.setTabMode(TabLayout.MODE_SCROLLABLE);
            }
        }
    
      private int calculateTabWidth(TabLayout tabLayout) {
            int tabWidth = 0;
            for (int i = 0; i < tabLayout.getChildCount(); i++) {
                final View view = tabLayout.getChildAt(i);
                view.measure(0, 0); 
                tabWidth += view.getMeasuredWidth();
            }
            return tabWidth;
        }

Solution 7 - Android

This solution works by letting android create the tabs then calculating the total width of them. Then checks if the tabs will fit the screen width, if it will fit then sets the tabMode to "fixed" which scales all the tabs to fit the screen width.

The tab layout xml, parent doesn't matter:

<com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout
        android:id="@+id/tabs"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:tabMode="scrollable"/>

Then in your activity onCreate or fragment onCreateView:

var totalWidth = 0
var maxWidth = 0
for (i in 0 until tabLayout.tabCount) {
    val tabWidth = (tabLayout.getChildAt(0) as ViewGroup).getChildAt(i)!!.width
    totalWidth += tabWidth
    maxWidth = max(maxWidth, tabWidth)
}
val screenWidth = Resources.getSystem().displayMetrics.widthPixels

if (totalWidth <  screenWidth&& screenWidth/ tabLayout.tabCount >= maxWidth) {

    tabLayout.tabMode = TabLayout.MODE_FIXED
}

If you are using TabLayout with Viewpager, then you have to set a layoutChangeListener since the tabs are not inflated at the start.

In your activity onCreate or fragment onCreateView:

tabLayout.addOnLayoutChangeListener { _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _ ->
    var totalWidth = 0
    var maxWidth = 0
    for (i in 0 until tabLayout.tabCount) {
        val tabWidth = (tabLayout.getChildAt(0) as ViewGroup).getChildAt(i)!!.width
        totalWidth += tabWidth
        maxWidth = max(maxWidth, tabWidth)
    }
    
     val screenWidth = Resources.getSystem().displayMetrics.widthPixels

    if (totalWidth < screenWidth && screenWidth / tabLayout.tabCount >= maxWidth) {

        tabLayout.tabMode = TabLayout.MODE_FIXED
    }
}

Note: If you want all of your tabs to have same text size when the tabMode is "fixed", then you have to set the textSize manually from styles.xml.

Solution 8 - Android

Here's an easier way to make sure that the width of tab is equal to tab's string length

http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" android:id="@+id/container" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent">

<androidx.viewpager.widget.ViewPager
    android:id="@+id/vpTabs"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout
        android:id="@+id/tabLayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:tabMaxWidth="0dp"
        app:tabMode="scrollable"/>

</androidx.viewpager.widget.ViewPager>

Tab length as big as String

Following code is used:-

app:tabMaxWidth="0dp"
app:tabMode="scrollable"

Solution 9 - Android

try with this changes

 <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
        android:id="@+id/sliding_tabs"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:tabMode="fixed"
        app:tabGravity="fill" />

Solution 10 - Android

I was struggling as well and most options above did not work for me, so I created a version on the answer of DTX12.

I have a boolean to check for tablet or not and make a check on landscape and portrait. Then set the layout based on amount of tabs.

You might need to make the method public and call it on rotation / configurationchange.

In the CustomTabLayout Code i replaced the mintabswidth method

private void initTabMinWidth()
{



    boolean isTablet = getContext().getResources().getBoolean(R.bool.device_is_tablet);
    boolean isLandscape = (wh[WIDTH_INDEX] > wh[HEIGHT_INDEX]) ? true : false;


    if (isTablet)
    {
        if (isLandscape)
        {
            if (this.getTabCount() > 8)
            {
                this.setTabGravity(TabLayout.GRAVITY_FILL);
                this.setTabMode(TabLayout.MODE_SCROLLABLE);
            } else
            {
                this.setTabGravity(TabLayout.GRAVITY_FILL);
                this.setTabMode(TabLayout.MODE_FIXED);
            }
        } else
        {
            if (this.getTabCount() > 6)
            {
                this.setTabGravity(TabLayout.GRAVITY_FILL);
                this.setTabMode(TabLayout.MODE_SCROLLABLE);
            } else
            {
                this.setTabGravity(TabLayout.GRAVITY_FILL);
                this.setTabMode(TabLayout.MODE_FIXED);
            }
        }
    } else
    {
        if (isLandscape)
        {
            if (this.getTabCount() > 6)
            {
                this.setTabGravity(TabLayout.GRAVITY_FILL);
                this.setTabMode(TabLayout.MODE_SCROLLABLE);
            } else
            {
                this.setTabGravity(TabLayout.GRAVITY_FILL);
                this.setTabMode(TabLayout.MODE_FIXED);
            }
        } else
        {
            if (this.getTabCount() > 4)
            {
                this.setTabGravity(TabLayout.GRAVITY_FILL);
                this.setTabMode(TabLayout.MODE_SCROLLABLE);
            } else
            {
                this.setTabGravity(TabLayout.GRAVITY_FILL);
                this.setTabMode(TabLayout.MODE_FIXED);
            }
        }
    }


}

After spending 2 days to figure out the issue, now finally it's working for me. Please see @Tyler V's answer check here From Tyler's answer 'It was key to set the minimum width before calling super.onMeasure().' is very important

Solution 12 - Android

This is my solution with tabMode set to: app:tabMode="scrollable"

class MyTabLayout(
  context: Context,
  attrs: AttributeSet?
) : TabLayout(context, attrs) {

  override fun onMeasure(
    widthMeasureSpec: Int,
    heightMeasureSpec: Int
  ) {

    val equalTabWidth= (MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec) / tabCount.toFloat()).toInt()

    for (index in 0..tabCount) {
      val tab = getTabAt(index)
      val tabMeasuredWidth = tab?.view?.measuredWidth ?: equalTabWidth

      if (tabMeasuredWidth < equalTabWidth) {
        tab?.view?.minimumWidth = equalTabWidth
      }
    }

    super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec)
  }
}

Solution 13 - Android

This method will work if you want to use it as scrollable tabs with custom tabs width

<com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout
        android:id="@+id/tabs"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="48dp"
        app:tabMaxWidth="48dp"
        app:tabGravity="fill"
        app:tabMode="scrollable"/>

Solution 15 - Android

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" />**

Solution 16 - Android

You may used app:tabMaxWidth="0dp" in tablayout

Solution 17 - Android

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

Solution 18 - Android

I didn't care about the tabs filling the width, but I cared that the background color wasn't expanding to the full width. So I thought of this solution, where I put a FrameLayout behind it with the same background color as the tabs.

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

@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()
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
