Dynamically create tabs in Tablayout from a list?

My app creates drawer submenus from sharedpreference values. These submenus are basically called "interests" or categories. I'm trying to move this same functionality to tablayout since that is much more convenient but can't seem to get it to work!

Edit: New code based on suggestions.

TabsFragment:

public class HomeTabsFragment extends Fragment implements ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener {
private View view;
private SectionsPagerAdapterHome homePageAdapter;
public ViewPager viewPager;
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
this.view =  inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_articles_tabs, container, false);
TabLayout tabLayout = view.findViewById(R.id.home_list_tabs);
viewPager = view.findViewById(R.id.home_list_tabs_container);
homePageAdapter = new SectionsPagerAdapterHome(getFragmentManager());
viewPager.setAdapter(homePageAdapter);
viewPager.setOffscreenPageLimit(tabLayout.getTabCount());
viewPager.addOnPageChangeListener(this);
tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(viewPager);
if(SharedPrefernces.getUserInterests()!=null) {
List<String> my_interests = SharedPrefernces.getUserInterests();
Collections.sort(my_interests, String::compareToIgnoreCase);
my_interests.add(0, getString(R.string.all_stories));
for (String interest : my_interests) {
homePageAdapter.addTabPage(new FeedsFragment(), interest);
}
}
return view;
}
@Override
public void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
}
@Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
// Do something that differs the Activity's menu here
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
return false;
}
@Override
public void onPageScrolled(int position, float positionOffset, int positionOffsetPixels) {
}
@Override
public void onPageSelected(int position) {
Fragment fragment = homePageAdapter.getFragment(position);
if (fragment != null) {
fragment.onResume();
}
}
@Override
public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int state) {
}
}

Adapter:

public class SectionsPagerAdapterHome extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
private FragmentManager fragmentManager;
private ArrayList fragmentTags = new ArrayList();
private ArrayList<String> titles = new ArrayList();
protected SectionsPagerAdapterHome(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm, FragmentPagerAdapter.BEHAVIOR_RESUME_ONLY_CURRENT_FRAGMENT);
fragmentManager = fm;
}
@Override
public Object instantiateItem(ViewGroup container, int position) {
Object object = super.instantiateItem(container, position);
if (object instanceof Fragment) {
Fragment fragment = (Fragment) object;
String tag = fragment.getTag();
fragmentTags.add(position, tag);
}
return object;
}
public Fragment getFragment(int position) {
Fragment fragment = null;
Object tag = fragmentTags.get(position);
if (tag != null) {
fragment = fragmentManager.findFragmentByTag(String.valueOf(tag));
}
return fragment;
}
@Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
return FeedsFragment.newInstance();
}
public void addTabPage(Fragment fragment,String title) {
titles.add(title);
fragmentTags.add(fragment);
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
return fragmentTags.size();
}
@Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
return titles.get(position);
}
}

I'm not sure how I can achieve this so need help.

Since you are using a ViewPager with an Adapter instead of using tabLayout.addTab(...) you have to add the item in the adapter.
Something like:

public class SectionsPagerAdapterHome extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
private ArrayList fragmentTags = new ArrayList();
private ArrayList<String> titles = new ArrayList();
//.....
public void addTabPage(Fragment fragment,String title) {
titles.add(title);
fragmentTags.add(fragment);
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
return fragmentTags.size();
}
@Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
return tables.get(position);
}
}
