How to implement a ViewPager with different Fragments / Layouts
As this is a very frequently asked question, I wanted to take the time and effort to explain the ViewPager with multiple Fragments and Layouts in detail. Here you go.
ViewPager with multiple Fragments and Layout files - How To
The following is a complete example of how to implement a ViewPager
with different fragment Types and different layout files.
In this case, I have 3 Fragment classes, and a different layout file for each class. In order to keep things simple, the fragment-layouts only differ in their background color. Of course, any layout-file can be used for the Fragments.
FirstFragment.java has a orange background layout, SecondFragment.java has a green background layout and ThirdFragment.java has a red background layout. Furthermore, each Fragment displays a different text, depending on which class it is from and which instance it is.
Also be aware that I am using the support-library's Fragment:
android.support.v4.app.Fragment
MainActivity.java (Initializes the Viewpager and has the adapter for it as an inner class). Again have a look at the imports. I am using the android.support.v4 package.
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentPagerAdapter;
import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager;
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
ViewPager pager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.viewPager);
pager.setAdapter(new MyPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager()));
}
private class MyPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
public MyPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
}
@Override
public Fragment getItem(int pos) {
switch(pos) {
case 0: return FirstFragment.newInstance("FirstFragment, Instance 1");
case 1: return SecondFragment.newInstance("SecondFragment, Instance 1");
case 2: return ThirdFragment.newInstance("ThirdFragment, Instance 1");
case 3: return ThirdFragment.newInstance("ThirdFragment, Instance 2");
case 4: return ThirdFragment.newInstance("ThirdFragment, Instance 3");
default: return ThirdFragment.newInstance("ThirdFragment, Default");
}
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
return 5;
}
}
}
activity_main.xml (The MainActivitys .xml file) - a simple layout file, only containing the ViewPager that fills the whole screen.
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/viewPager"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
/>
The Fragment classes, FirstFragment.java
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
public class FirstFragment extends Fragment {
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.first_frag, container, false);
TextView tv = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.tvFragFirst);
tv.setText(getArguments().getString("msg"));
return v;
}
public static FirstFragment newInstance(String text) {
FirstFragment f = new FirstFragment();
Bundle b = new Bundle();
b.putString("msg", text);
f.setArguments(b);
return f;
}
}
first_frag.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@android:color/holo_orange_dark" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/tvFragFirst"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:textSize="26dp"
android:text="TextView" />
</RelativeLayout>
SecondFragment.java
public class SecondFragment extends Fragment {
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.second_frag, container, false);
TextView tv = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.tvFragSecond);
tv.setText(getArguments().getString("msg"));
return v;
}
public static SecondFragment newInstance(String text) {
SecondFragment f = new SecondFragment();
Bundle b = new Bundle();
b.putString("msg", text);
f.setArguments(b);
return f;
}
}
second_frag.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@android:color/holo_green_dark" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/tvFragSecond"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:textSize="26dp"
android:text="TextView" />
</RelativeLayout>
ThirdFragment.java
public class ThirdFragment extends Fragment {
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.third_frag, container, false);
TextView tv = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.tvFragThird);
tv.setText(getArguments().getString("msg"));
return v;
}
public static ThirdFragment newInstance(String text) {
ThirdFragment f = new ThirdFragment();
Bundle b = new Bundle();
b.putString("msg", text);
f.setArguments(b);
return f;
}
}
third_frag.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@android:color/holo_red_light" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/tvFragThird"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:textSize="26dp"
android:text="TextView" />
</RelativeLayout>
The end result is the following:
The Viewpager holds 5 Fragments, Fragments 1 is of type FirstFragment, and displays the first_frag.xml layout, Fragment 2 is of type SecondFragment and displays the second_frag.xml, and Fragment 3-5 are of type ThirdFragment and all display the third_frag.xml.
Above you can see the 5 Fragments between which can be switched via swipe to the left or right. Only one Fragment can be displayed at the same time of course.
Last but not least:
I would recommend that you use an empty constructor in each of your
Fragment classes.
Instead of handing over potential parameters via constructor, use the newInstance(...) method and the Bundle for handing over parameters.
This way if detached and re-attached the object state can be stored through the arguments. Much like Bundles attached to Intents.
How to implement a ViewPager with different Fragments?
I am not sure if I understand your question correctly, but I think this is what you are looking for:
How to implement a ViewPager with different Fragments / Layouts
The basic idea is that you have a different Fragment class for each different layout you have. In this case, all Fragments have a TextView, but their layouts also differ in a separate background color.
ANDROID: ViewPager with different Fragments in instantiateItem method
Try to separate out your adapter and below code.
MyAdapter.java
public class MyAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter{
private final List<Fragment> mFragmentList = new ArrayList<>();
private final List<String> mFragmentTitleList = new ArrayList<>();
public MyAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
}
@Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
return mFragmentList.get(position);
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
return mFragmentList.size();
}
public void addFragment(Fragment fragment, String title) {
mFragmentList.add(fragment);
mFragmentTitleList.add(title);
}
@Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
return mFragmentTitleList.get(position);
}
}
Create your Fragments
FragmentOne.java
public class FragmentOne extends Fragment {
@Nullable
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_one, container, false);
return view;
}
}
FragmentTwo.java
public class FragmentTwo extends Fragment {
@Nullable
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_two, container, false);
return view;
}
}
Setup your viewpager like this in your activity.
final ViewPager viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.myviewpager);
MyAdapter adapter = new MyAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
// Add your fragments in adapter.
FragmentOne fragmentOne = new FragmentOne();
adapter.addFragment(fragmentOne, getResources().getString(R.string.fragment_one_title));
FragmentTwo fragmentTwo = new FragmentTwo();
adapter.addFragment(fragmentTwo, getResources().getString(R.string.fragment_two_title));
viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
Then finally set your NavigationTabBar with your ViewPager.
final NavigationTabBar navigationTabBar = (NavigationTabBar) findViewById(R.id.ntb_horizontal);
navigationTabBar.setViewPager(viewPager, 2);
I want to show 3 different fragments for 3 different tabs in view-pager ,Tabbed activity Android
change your getItem method like this
@Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
Fragment fragment = null;
switch (position){
case 0:
fragment = new Tab1Fragment();
break;
case 1:
fragment = new Tab2Fragment();
break;
case 2:
fragment = new Tab3Fragment();
break;
}
return fragment;
}
moving from one fragment to another using viewpager
You have only one class i.e.,ScreenSlidePageFragment that extends fragments. If you want different layouts for that, its better if you create different classes that inflates different layouts. eg: if you want two layouts, create two classes and both classes should inflate different layouts. The changes need to be done are :
//inside ScreenSlidePagerAdapter
@Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
switch (position) {
case 0:
return new ScreenSlidePageFragment();
case 1:
return new NewClass();
//and so on
}
}
You have to create the new Class similar to ScreenSlidePageFragment. The only change is inflate a different layout.
public class NewClass extends Fragment {
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
ViewGroup rootView = (ViewGroup) inflater.inflate(
R.layout.new_layout, container, false
);
return rootView;
}
}
You can create a new_layout similar to slide_content_page and customize it as you want. You can also increase the no of fragment objects and layout as you wish.
But a new way of doing this things has come. Its better if you extend FragmentStateAdapter instead of FragmentStatePagerAdapter. This is more easy and efficient. You have to override createFragment in this case instead of getItem. Ignore of you are okay with it.
Hope this is the question you have asked and this helps. Thankyou.
Different layouts in a viewpager
I think you want extend FragmentPagerAdapter, override getItem, and return the proper Fragment object (or ListFragment) depending on the index/position in the ViewPager.
In the layout xml for your Activity you should include a ViewPager (<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager>), and in your Activity onCreate use the setAdapter method of ViewPager to assign your FragmentPagerAdapter.
