Android Design Tablayout custom view cannot match parent

Question

Custom is always focused on Tablayout. Tab output is as follows. How to get the full space available to its parent element, i.e. TabView

<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" android:id="@+id/tablayout" android:layout_width="match_parent" app:tabPaddingStart="0dp" app:tabPaddingEnd="0dp" android:layout_height="90dp"> </android.support.design.widget.TabLayout> 

Adding a text image as shown below

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:background="@android:color/holo_purple" android:gravity="center_horizontal"> <TextView android:text="Hello !" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"/> </LinearLayout> 

But, unfortunately, he is always focused and never gets full space. The problem is that I cannot provide a separator between the tabs, as it is always in the center.

Java code for adding tabs:

  TabLayout v = (TabLayout)findViewById(R.id.tablayout); TabLayout.Tab tab = v.newTab(); tab.setCustomView(R.layout.content_main); v.addTab(tab); tab = v.newTab(); tab.setCustomView(R.layout.content_main); v.addTab(tab); tab = v.newTab(); tab.setCustomView(R.layout.content_main); v.addTab(tab)

Although you can get around this by inflating your own view and then applying the layout options manually:

 View v = LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.view_goal_tab_active, null); TextView tv = (TextView)v.findViewById(R.id.goal_tab_active_tv); tv.setSelected(true); v.setLayoutParams(new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT)); mTabs.getTabAt(0).setCustomView(v);
