SlidingTabLayout to fit the screen

Question

I am using Google\'s SlidingTabLayout. As i only have 3 tabs to be displayed, I am seeing empty space after last tab. Please screenshot below.

Answer 1

Changing the SlidingTabLayout.java file may help. However, the solution may not seem very much generic. In the SlidingTabLayout.java file, search for the method

protected TextView createDefaultTabView(Context context)

Underneath the TextView 'set' methods, type in the following code.

textView.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(0, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 1f));

Each tab strip is merely a customized LinearLayout.
