A "simpler" answer borrowed from Kaizie would just be adding app:tabMaxWidth="0dp" in your TabLayout xml:

<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            app:tabMaxWidth="0dp"
            app:tabGravity="fill"
            app:tabMode="fixed" />
