Android Design Support Library TabLayout using custom tabs layout but layout wrapping the tabs

Question

In tab custom layout I set its parent element to match_parent and set its background color. When I run it tabs are shown custom layout wrapping the elements imageview and textview. I want this custom layout will fill the tab without any space between tabs. Check output here:

private void setupTabLayout(ViewPager viewPager, ViewPagerAdapter viewPagerAdapter) {
    TabLayout tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tab_layout);
    tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(viewPager);

    int length = tabLayout.getTabCount();
    for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
        tabLayout.getTabAt(i).setCustomView(viewPagerAdapter.getTabView(i));
    }
}

tab_layout.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:id="@+id/layout"
    android:background="@color/grey_accent">

    <ImageView
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/icon"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_action_home"
        android:layout_marginBottom="19dp"
        android:layout_above="@+id/title"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />

    <TextView
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:textColor="@color/white"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Home"
        android:id="@+id/title"
        android:layout_marginBottom="259dp"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />
</RelativeLayout>

ViewPagerAdapter:

public View getTabView(int position) {
    View view = LayoutInflater.from(this.context).inflate(R.layout.tab_layout, null);
    TextView title = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.title);
    ImageView icon = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.icon);
    ViewGroup layout = (ViewGroup) view.findViewById(R.id.layout);

    layout.setBackgroundResource(this.mColorList.get(position));
    icon.setImageResource(this.mIconList.get(position));
    title.setText(this.getPageTitle(position));

    return view;
}

Answer 1

Try this

<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
    app:tabPaddingStart="-1dp"
    app:tabPaddingEnd="-1dp"/>

I found it here

Shaftesbury

app:tabPaddingStart="0dp" app:tabPaddingEnd="0dp" work for me. – Drogin

This is not working at all for "Scrollable" Tablayout – Villon

Answer 2

You can use material design tablayout and then give custom view to all the tabs. For full reference visit: Custom Tablayout Example

Custom view for all the tabs can be something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:id="@+id/ll"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:gravity="center">

        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="30dp"
            android:layout_height="30dp"
            android:src="@mipmap/ic_launcher"/>
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/tvtab1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="ONE"
            android:textColor="@color/colorAccent"
            android:textSize="14sp"
            android:textStyle="bold" />
    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:id="@+id/ll2"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:gravity="center">
        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="30dp"
            android:layout_height="30dp"
            android:src="@mipmap/ic_launcher"/>

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/tvtab2"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="TWO"
            android:textColor="#26e9dc"
            android:textSize="14sp"
            android:textStyle="bold" />
    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:id="@+id/ll3"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:gravity="center">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/tvtab3"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="THREE"
            android:textColor="#d8ea2b"
            android:textSize="14sp"
            android:textStyle="bold" />
        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="30dp"
            android:layout_height="30dp"
            android:src="@mipmap/ic_launcher"/>
    </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

code for xml file of activity (activity_main.xml)

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar">

        <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
            android:id="@+id/tabs"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            app:tabTextColor="#fff"
            app:tabSelectedTextColor="#000"
            app:tabGravity="fill"
            app:tabMode="fixed" />

    </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

    <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
        android:id="@+id/viewpager"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"

Step 1: Add xml layout code for customtabs

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
    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:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"
        app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />

    <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
        android:id="@+id/tabs"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:tabMode="scrollable"
        android:background="@color/white"
        app:tabGravity="center" />

</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:layout_marginBottom="50dp"/>

Step 2 : Java code for tabs activity

public class BookingsTabs extends AppCompatActivity {
    String url, smobile, snames, semail, sid, stoken, responseServer;
    String id, token, did, stsid, processresponse, type, cancelresponse;
    TextView tv1;
    Button cretedeal;
    ViewbookingsAdapter adapter;
    ViewbookingsAdapter2 adapter2;
    LinearLayout order;
    private Tracker mTracker;
    ProgressDialog pDialog;
    ListView listview;
    private Toolbar toolbar;
    private TabLayout tabLayout;
    private ViewPager viewPager;
    AnalyticsApplication application1;
    SessionManagement session;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.view_bookings);

        toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
        getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
        if (toolbar != null) {
            setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
            ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
            actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
            actionBar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
            actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(true);
            actionBar.setDisplayUseLogoEnabled(false);
            actionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
        }

        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
            getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS);
            getWindow().setStatusBarColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.colorPrimaryDark));
        }
        viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.viewpager);
        setupViewPager(viewPager);
        int defaultValue = 0;
        int page = getIntent().getIntExtra("TAB", defaultValue);
        viewPager.setCurrentItem(page);
        application1 = (AnalyticsApplication) getApplication();
        mTracker = application1.getDefaultTracker();
        tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tabs);
        tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(viewPager);
        tabLayout.setSelectedTabIndicatorColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.accentColor));
        tabLayout.setTabTextColors(ContextCompat.getColorStateList(this, R.color.aquablue));

        tabLayout.getTabAt(0).setCustomView(R.layout.aquablue);
        tabLayout.getTabAt(1).setCustomView(R.layout.orangeprocess);
        tabLayout.getTabAt(2).setCustomView(R.layout.shipping);
        tabLayout.getTabAt(3).setCustomView(R.layout.deliver);
        tabLayout.getTabAt(4).setCustomView(R.layout.completedtxt);
        tabLayout.getTabAt(5).setCustomView(R.layout.cancelled);

        callAsynchronousTask();
        viewPager.setCurrentItem(0);
    }

    private void setupViewPager(ViewPager viewPager) {
        ViewPagerAdapter adapter = new ViewPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
        adapter.addFrag(new OrderplacedFragment(), "Order Placed");
        adapter.addFrag(new ProcessingFragment(), "Processing");
        adapter.addFrag(new ShippingFragment(), "Shipping");
        adapter.addFrag(new DeliveredFragment(), "Delivered");
        adapter.addFrag(new CompletedFragment(), "Completed");
        adapter.addFrag(new CancelledFragment(), "Cancelled");
        viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
    }

    class ViewPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
        private final List<Fragment> mFragmentList = new ArrayList<>();
        private final List<String> mFragmentTitleList = new ArrayList<>();

        public ViewPagerAdapter(FragmentManager manager) {
            super(manager);
        }

        @Override
        public Fragment getItem(int position) {
            if (position == 0) {

            }
            return mFragmentList.get(position);
        }

        @Override
        public int getCount() {
            return mFragmentList.size();
        }

        public void addFrag(Fragment fragment, String title) {
            mFragmentList.add(fragment);
            mFragmentTitleList.add(title);
        }

        @Override
        public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
            return mFragmentTitleList.get(position);
        }
    }
}

Step 3 :I added below sample tab code fragment for one tab same as other tabs

Take xml code any listview or some data

public class OrderplacedFragment extends Fragment {
    View mMainView;
    String url, smobile, snames, semail, sid, stoken, responseServer;
    Context context;
    ViewbookingsAdapter adapter;
    ViewbookingsAdapter2 adapter2;
    ListView listview;
    LinearLayout tv1;
    TextView create;
    ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> processlist, hatfilterslist;
    SessionManagement session;
    private SwipeRefreshLayout mSwipeRefreshLayout = null;

    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        mMainView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.listview_orderbookings, container, false);

        listview = (ListView) mMainView.findViewById(R.id.listview);

        pDialog = new ProgressDialog(getActivity());
        pDialog.setMessage("Loading...");
        pDialog.setMax(5);
        Intent j = getActivity().getIntent();
        coupon_code = j.getStringExtra("code");
        create = (TextView) mMainView.findViewById(R.id.dealslist);
        tv1 = (LinearLayout) mMainView.findViewById(R.id.no_deals_linear);
        create = (TextView) mMainView.findViewById(R.id.dealslist);
        create.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {

                Intent i = new Intent(getActivity(), MyDealsActivity.class);
                startActivity(i);

            }
        });
        tv1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {

                Intent i = new Intent(getActivity(), MyDealsActivity.class);
                startActivity(i);
            }
        });

        return mMainView;
    }
}

In this tabs we can add counts also. If you have any questions about this ask me

Where is tab item file? – Unfair

Answer 4

When you use inflate(R.layout.tab_layout, null), you are saying there is no parent View at all. This causes all layout_ attributes to be thrown away, as per this pro-tip.

Instead, you should pass in the TabLayout and false (i.e., do not automatically attach the View): this ensures that the attributes are not ignored.

public View getTabView(TabLayout tabLayout, int position) {
    View view = LayoutInflater.from(this.context)
        .inflate(R.layout.tab_layout, tabLayout, false);
    TextView title = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.title);
    ImageView icon = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.icon);
    ViewGroup layout = (ViewGroup) view.findViewById(R.id.layout);

    layout.setBackgroundResource(this.mColorList.get(position));
    icon.setImageResource(this.mIconList.get(position));
    title.setText(this.getPageTitle(position));

    return view;
}

Smear

i tried as you told but its not working i'm getting same output. – Ammerman
