Menu
I'm referencing a great demo here regarding material design. It has tabs, but when I add too many the tab items get squished (see screenshot). How can I make it scroll horizontally?
I believe below is the layout I should make the change, but I combed the docs and can't seem to get it, pls help!
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" android:id="@+id/main_content" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"> <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout android:id="@+id/appbar" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"> <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar android:id="@+id/toolbar" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize" android:background="?attr/colorPrimary" app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways" /> <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout android:id="@+id/tabs" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout> <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager android:id="@+id/viewpager" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" /> <android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton android:id="@+id/fab" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="end|bottom" android:layout_margin="@dimen/fab_margin" android:src="@drawable/ic_done" /> </android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

Horizontal scrolling can be achieved by clicking and dragging a horizontal scroll bar, swiping sideways on a desktop trackpad or trackpad mouse, pressing left and right arrow keys, or swiping sideways with one's finger on a touchscreen.
Click File > Options. On the Advanced tab, scroll to the Display section. Select Show horizontal scroll bar and Show vertical scroll bar, and then click OK.
Users may ignore content accessible through horizontal scrolling or “swiping” as they don't expect content there. Our research found that even strong cues such as arrows frequently remain unnoticed. People expect to scroll vertically for additional content, but they don't expect to scroll sideways.
TabLayout has a method setTabMode() which can be either MODE_FIXED (default) or MODE_SCROLLABLE which is what you need.
You can also define this in XML with app:tabMode="scrollable".
