How to show a fixed number of tabs at a time in Android Material Design tabs?

Question

I have used the Android Design Support library and implemented tabs in my android app using tablayout, fragments and viewpager. Tab sliding is working perfectly. But when I add more tabs (say 7), those tabs reduce their width and adjust themselves. How to show only 3 tabs at a time and show the next three when the user slides from 3rd to 4th tab?

Answer 1

In your MainActivity

ViewPager mpager;

TabPageAdapter adapter = new TabPageAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager(), list);

mtabLayout.setTabGravity(TabLayout.GRAVITY_FILL);
mpager.setOffscreenPageLimit(list.size());

mpager.setAdapter(adapter);

In your xml TabLayout set

app:tabMode="scrollable"
