Use the following code for changing the size of tab and making tabs fit within the screenwidth. Make sure your are using the Custom View

DisplayMetrics displaymetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
           getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displaymetrics);
           int screenWidth = displaymetrics.widthPixels;          
           final View tabView = actionBar.getTabAt(0).getCustomView();
           final View tabContainerView = (View) tabView.getParent();
           final int tabPadding = tabContainerView.getPaddingLeft() + tabContainerView.getPaddingRight();
           final int tabs = actionBar.getTabCount();
           for(int i=0 ; i < tabs ; i++) {
               View tab = actionBar.getTabAt(i).getCustomView();
          LinearLayout tabItemLayout = (LinearLayout) tab.findViewById(R.id.tabItemLayout);
          tabItemLayout.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(screenWidth/tabs-tabPadding-1, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
          }
