TabLayout not filling width when tabMode set to 'scrollable'

Question

I have added TabLayout (from support library v22.2.1) to my Fragment as:

Answer 1

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

    android:background="@color/colorAccent"
    app:tabGravity="fill"
    app:tabMode="scrollable"/>

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