Increasing Width of tabs in Tab layout

Question

Hi All,

I am working on Android Material Design.

When I add mode tabs to my adapter, the text gets distorted breaking into two places as shown in figure. My code:

 private void setupViewPager(ViewPager viewPager) {
        Adapter adapter = new Adapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
        adapter.addFragment(new ListContentFragment(), "Home");
        adapter.addFragment(new TileContentFragment(), "Screen 1");
        adapter.addFragment(new CardContentFragment(), "Screen 2");
        adapter.addFragment(new ListContentFragment(), "Screen 3");
        adapter.addFragment(new TileContentFragment(), "Screen 4");
        adapter.addFragment(new CardContentFragment(), "Screen 5");


        viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
    }

My XML
