Android Tab Layout not taking up full width with custom view

Question

Android TabLayout tabPaddingTop and tabPaddingBottom not being removed

Please refer to the above issue as well.

Even since i updated my design library to \"23.2.

Answer 1

Instead of dealing with TabLayout subviews, you can access TabLayout.Tab view directly and set the padding to 0 just like the code below.

for (int i = 0; i < tabLayout.getTabCount(); i++) {
    View tabView = tabLayout.getTabAt(i).view;
    tabView.setPadding(0, 0, 0, 0);
}

I'm doing this in the onCreateView callback and it works perfectly.
