More than 4 tab in android

Question

I need to implement iphone like tab in android. Which means, if there are more than 5 tabs are there the 5th tab text must show "more"? How can I implement this? Is it possible to do so in Android? Please help me. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

As far as I know, it's not possible. You can however implement a scrollbar for the tab widget, so if you have more than a number of tabs and they don't fit the screen, it won't show a 'More' tab, but you can scroll to the rest. For more info about this, check this link.

I totally agree with @yugidroid but sometimes it's hard to explain this to designer :) So you will need to implement that attitude of tabs by yourself, it is possible though.

You can check out my repository on github to have an idea where to begin. You can do it by modifying that actually...

You can add this to your activity:

tabLayout.setTabMode(TabLayout.MODE_SCROLLABLE);

After adding this you can have how many tabs you want.
