How to scroll tablayout programmatically - Android

Question

I have created 30 scrollable tabs using tablayout.

So first three tabs are visible on screen and rest of them are invisible which can be scroll using swipe gesture.

Answer 1

I found this solution for me:

    TabLayout tabLayout = activity.getTabLayout();
    tabLayout.setSmoothScrollingEnabled(true);
    tabLayout.setScrollPosition(targetChannelPosition, 0f, true);

Also, if you receive this error: "Only the original thread that created a view hierarchy can touch its views.", you can use this code, in order to run on Ui thread:

    // find a way to get the activity containing the tab layout
    TabLayout tabLayout = activity.getTabLayout();
    activity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable()
    {
        @Override
        public void run()
        {
            TabLayout.Tab tab = tabLayout.getTabAt(targetChannelPosition);
            tab.select();
        }
    });
