There is no reason to do any of the outlined hacks. If you're using ViewPager and PagerAdapter (not sure if they existed at the time of the question), you can use a FragmentPagerAdapter to manage the swipeable tab fragments for you.

class MyFragmentPagerAdapter(
  private val context: Context,
  fragmentManager: FragmentManager
) : FragmentPagerAdapter(fragmentManager) {
  override fun getCount() = 2

  override fun getItem(position: Int) = when(position) {
    0 -> FirstFragment()
    1 -> SecondFragment()
    else -> throw IllegalStateException("Unexpected position $position")
  }

  override fun getPageTitle(position: Int): CharSequence = when(position) {
    0 -> context.getString(R.string.first)
    1 -> context.getString(R.string.second)
    else -> throw IllegalStateException("Unexpected position $position")
  }
}

And

class ParentFragment: Fragment() {
  override fun onCreateView(...) = ...

  override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
    viewPager.adapter = MyFragmentPagerAdapter(requireContext(), childFragmentManager)
    tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(viewPager)
  }
}
