Fixed number of tabs per page in TabLayout - android

I am using scrollable TabLayout with a ViewPager.
I want to make sure that at any given time I have 7 tabs displayed per page. Even if the total number of tabs is 10, I want to have 7 per page, and scroll to expose the other 3.
I can't find a property to control the number of tabs displayed.

Eventually what worked for me was to calculate the desired size of each cell to get the total amount of tabs that I needed per page and set app:tabMaxWidth inside android.support.design.widget.TabLayout

P.s. You will need to add GestureDetector if you want to change tabs on swipe.

Android Xml command meanings?

Hi my question is related to some xml commands used in material design designs. I don't understand what some commands mean in Toolbar and TabLayout. Is there anyone have an idea? What do the numbers of commands mean?
Toolbar
app:layout_scrollFlags="5"
TabLayout
app:tabGravity="0"
app:tabMode="1"
You should look at the official docs
For tabGravity
GRAVITY_CENTER Gravity used to lay out the tabs in the center of the TabLayout.
GRAVITY_FILL Gravity used to fill the TabLayout as much as possible. This option only takes effect when used with MODE_FIXED.
MODE_FIXED Fixed tabs display all tabs concurrently and are best used with content that benefits from quick pivots between tabs. The maximum number of tabs is limited by the view’s width. Fixed tabs have equal width, based on the widest tab label.
MODE_SCROLLABLE Scrollable tabs display a subset of tabs at any given moment, and can contain longer tab labels and a larger number of tabs. They are best used for browsing contexts in touch interfaces when users don’t need to directly compare the tab labels.
For tabMode ="fixed" or "scrollable"
MODE_FIXED: Fixed tabs display all tabs concurrently and are best used with content that benefits from quick pivots between tabs.
MODE_SCROLLABLE: Scrollable tabs display a subset of tabs at any given moment, and can contain longer tab labels and a larger number of tabs. They are best used for browsing contexts in touch interfaces when users don’t need to directly compare the tab labels. This mode is commonly used with a ViewPager.

How not to wrap the Tab Titles in Swipe View?

I am trying to create swipe able views in android.
But since titles of my Tabs are longs they are getting wrapped to fit in single screen.
How to avoid the wrapping of titles and let the titles extend in one line even if the tab titles has to expand outside the current screen.
Seen Image Here
There is an Android component for that called PagerTitleStrip: http://developer.android.com/training/implementing-navigation/lateral.html#PagerTitleStrip
This will provide you fully-visible scrollable tabs.

what element to be used to display dynamic moving screens in android

what element to be used to display dynamic moving screens in android, what I want to do in my app is to show 3-4 screens to the user moving dynamically based on a predefined time interval of 2-3 seconds.
I am new-bie to android, so wanted to understand how this can be programmed.
Many Thanks !
use viewpager
Layout manager that allows the user to flip left and right through pages of data. You supply an implementation of a PagerAdapter to generate the pages that the view shows.

align PageTabStrip according to the custom ViewPager content width

I have created PageTabStrip and ViewPager to show multiple list fragments. inside my app viewpager content has a specific width ( it doesn't occupy the whole screen ) partial pages are visible.
as my ViewPager content has specific width, my PageTabStrip are not aligned accordingly.
please see the image below , so how do i align the Division caption under first list and Item under second list ( second tab is getting out of the screen , see in red)
![enter image description here][1]
I think you misunderstand the concept of viewpager and PageTabStrip and misused them with your design requirement.
The viewpager is a widget that shows each page one at a time and when you swipe you can see the other pages. Other pages are all invisible until you swipe to them, then it shows you one at a time.
The pageTabStrip helps you to find that which page is currently displayed and what is the title of the next page and previous page if you swipe to those, so it just gives a hint about next and previous pages.
What your picture tells us is you have created a page and set its title Division,(as the pageTabStrip shows) and you have put all of your layouts inside it and you called the next page title ITEM but I think if you swipe to it, it is either empty or just duplicates current view. Your problem is here, if you put all your layouts inside one page you can not set different title for different part of current page, you only can set one title and this title applies to whole layout of current page.
Here is my different solutions to represent your layout:
1) Do not use pageTabStrip or give it a general title for example Search and provide a sub title for each part of current layout with for example linearlayout. It means add a linearlayout above the current page and divide it and put each subtitle in a correct position.
2) Use dual pan fragment design pattern and remove the viewpager.
3) Move search item type section to the next page.
