[FIXED] TabLayout set spacing or margin each tab

Issue

I want to set margin in between each tab. Like in PagerTabStrip which has setTextSpacing(int textSpacing) to make text spacing between tab. Can TabLayout do that?

Solution

Been fighting this problem for a while too, found the solution on this thread : Android Design Support Library TabLayout using custom tabs layout but layout wrapping the tabs

<!-- Add the padding to tabPaddingStart and/or tabPaddingEnd -->
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
        android:id="@+id/tabLayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="@dimen/tab_layout_height"
        app:tabPaddingStart="10dp"
        app:tabPaddingEnd="10dp">
