Android Support Design TabLayout: Gravity Center And Mode Scrollable


Answer :

Tab gravity only effects MODE_FIXED.

One possible solution is to set your layout_width to wrap_content and layout_gravity to center_horizontal:

<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout     android:id="@+id/sliding_tabs"     android:layout_width="wrap_content"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"     app:tabMode="scrollable" />

If the tabs are smaller than the screen width, the TabLayout itself will also be smaller and it will be centered because of the gravity. If the tabs are bigger than the screen width, the TabLayout will match the screen width and scrolling will activate.


this is how i did it

TabLayout.xml

<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout             android:id="@+id/tab_layout"             android:layout_height="wrap_content"             android:layout_width="wrap_content"             android:background="@android:color/transparent"             app:tabGravity="fill"             app:tabMode="scrollable"             app:tabTextAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.Design.Tab"             app:tabSelectedTextColor="@color/myPrimaryColor"             app:tabIndicatorColor="@color/myPrimaryColor"             android:overScrollMode="never"             />

Oncreate

@Override     protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)     {         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);         setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);         mToolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar_actionbar);         mTabLayout = (TabLayout)findViewById(R.id.tab_layout);         mTabLayout.setOnTabSelectedListener(this);         setSupportActionBar(mToolbar);          mTabLayout.addTab(mTabLayout.newTab().setText("Dashboard"));         mTabLayout.addTab(mTabLayout.newTab().setText("Signature"));         mTabLayout.addTab(mTabLayout.newTab().setText("Booking/Sampling"));         mTabLayout.addTab(mTabLayout.newTab().setText("Calendar"));         mTabLayout.addTab(mTabLayout.newTab().setText("Customer Detail"));          mTabLayout.post(mTabLayout_config);     }      Runnable mTabLayout_config = new Runnable()     {         @Override         public void run()         {             if(mTabLayout.getWidth() < MainActivity.this.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().widthPixels)             {                 mTabLayout.setTabMode(TabLayout.MODE_FIXED);                 ViewGroup.LayoutParams mParams = mTabLayout.getLayoutParams();                 mParams.width = ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT;                 mTabLayout.setLayoutParams(mParams);              }             else             {                 mTabLayout.setTabMode(TabLayout.MODE_SCROLLABLE);             }         }     };

I made small changes of @Mario Velasco's solution on the runnable part


As I didn't find why does this behaviour happen I have used the following code:

float myTabLayoutSize = 360; if (DeviceInfo.getWidthDP(this) >= myTabLayoutSize ){     tabLayout.setTabMode(TabLayout.MODE_FIXED); } else {     tabLayout.setTabMode(TabLayout.MODE_SCROLLABLE); }

Basically, I have to calculate manually the width of my tabLayout and then I set the Tab Mode depending on if the tabLayout fits in the device or not.

The reason why I get the size of the layout manually is because not all the tabs have the same width in Scrollable mode, and this could provoke that some names use 2 lines as it happened to me in the example.

Are Regular VACUUM ANALYZE Still Recommended Under 9.1?

Answer : VACUUM is only needed on updated or deleted rows in non-temporary tables. Obviously you're doing lots of INSERTs but it's not obvious from the description that you're also doing lots of UPDATEs or DELETEs. These operations can be tracked with the pg_stat_all_tables view, specifically the n_tup_upd and n_tup_del columns. Also, even more to the point, there is a n_dead_tup column that tells, per table, how much rows need to be vacuumed. (see Monitoring statistics in the doc for functions and views related to statistics gathering). A possible strategy in your case would be to suppress the scheduled VACUUM, keeping an eye on this view and checking on which tables the n_dead_tup is going up significantly. Then apply the aggressive VACUUM to these tables only. This will be a win if there are large tables whose rows never get deleted nor updated and the aggressive VACUUM is really necessary only on smaller tables. But keep running the ANALYZE for the optimiz

Can Feynman Diagrams Be Used To Represent Any Perturbation Theory?

Answer : Diagram machinery works also for perturbation theory in classical statistical mechanics and classical field theories. Generally, various kinds of diagrams constitute a pictorial way of talking about tensor products and their contractions while hiding the multi-linear algebra from the layman. In the simplest case, vertices (or blobs) represent vectors, matrices, tensors; vertices have ingoing and/or outgoing ports; ingoing ports denote (contravariant) ro indices; outgoing ports denote (covariant) co indices; directed arcs between blobs give a pair of equal indices summed over; different base spaces ⇔ \Leftrightarrow ⇔ different arc types; symmetric tensors ⇔ \Leftrightarrow ⇔ undirected diagrams; no labels are needed for internal lines. In many cases, the directed arcs are decorated (as thin, thick, broken,wavy, curly lines), each decoration indicating the presence of a so-called propagator, a function of its label to use as a weight in the sum, which may beco
