Android ViewPagerIndicator AAR

This is a fork of Jake Wharton's fantastic original work providing an AAR artifact.

Paging indicator widgets that are compatible with the ViewPager from the Android Support Library to improve discoverability of content.

Try out the sample application on the Android Market.

These widgets can also be used in conjunction with ActionBarSherlock!

Usage

For a working implementation of this project see the sample/ folder.

1. Include one of the widgets in your view. This should usually be placed adjacent to the ViewPager it represents.

   <net.rdrei.android.viewpagerindicator.TitlePageIndicator android:id="@+id/titles" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent" />

2. In your onCreate method (or onCreateView for a fragment), bind the indicator to the ViewPager.

   //Set the pager with an adapter
   ViewPager pager = (ViewPager)findViewById(R.id.pager);
   pager.setAdapter(new TestAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager()));
   
   //Bind the title indicator to the adapter
   TitlePageIndicator titleIndicator = (TitlePageIndicator)findViewById(R.id.titles);
   titleIndicator.setViewPager(pager);
   

   Note: If you are using TitlePageIndicator your adapter must implement TitleProvider.

3. (Optional) If you use an OnPageChangeListener with your view pager you should set it in the indicator rather than on the pager directly.

   //continued from above
   titleIndicator.setOnPageChangeListener(mPageChangeListener);
   

Theming

There are three ways to style the look of the indicators.

1. Theme XML. An attribute for each type of indicator is provided in which you can specify a custom style.
2. Layout XML. Through the use of a custom namespace you can include any desired styles.
3. Object methods. Both styles have getters and setters for each style attribute which can be changed at any point.

Each indicator has a demo which creates the same look using each of these methods.

Including In Your Project
