OUTPUT

TabLayout with ViewPager2

From Docs

ViewPager2

New features

• Right-to-left (RTL) layout support
• Vertical orientation support
• notifyDataSetChanged fully functional

API changes

• FragmentStateAdapter replaces FragmentStatePagerAdapter
• RecyclerView.Adapter replaces PagerAdapter
• registerOnPageChangeCallback replaces addPageChangeListener

SAMPLE CODE

add the latest dependencies for ViewPager2

implementation 'androidx.viewpager2:viewpager2:1.0.0-alpha01'

layout

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <androidx.viewpager2.widget.ViewPager2
        android:id="@+id/view_pager"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />

</LinearLayout>

activity

import android.os.Bundle;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import androidx.viewpager2.widget.ViewPager2;

import java.util.ArrayList;

public class MyActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    ViewPager2 myViewPager2;
    MyAdapter MyAdapter;
    private ArrayList<String> arrayList = new ArrayList<>();

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_my);

        myViewPager2 = findViewById(R.id.view_pager);

        arrayList.add("Item 1");
        arrayList.add("Item 2");
        arrayList.add("Item 3");
        arrayList.add("Item 4");
        arrayList.add("Item 5");

        MyAdapter = new MyAdapter(this, arrayList);


        myViewPager2.setOrientation(ViewPager2.ORIENTATION_VERTICAL);

        myViewPager2.setAdapter(MyAdapter);
    }
}

MyAdapter

import android.content.Context;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.TextView;
import androidx.annotation.NonNull;
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView;

import java.util.ArrayList;

public class MyAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MyAdapter.MyViewHolder> {

    private Context context;
    private ArrayList<String> arrayList = new ArrayList<>();

    public MyAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<String> arrayList) {
        this.context = context;
        this.arrayList = arrayList;
    }

    @NonNull
    @Override
    public MyViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(@NonNull ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
        View view = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.list_item, parent, false);
        return new MyViewHolder(view);
    }

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull MyViewHolder holder, int position) {
        holder.tvName.setText(arrayList.get(position));
    }

    @Override
    public int getItemCount() {
        return arrayList.size();
    }

    public class MyViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
        TextView tvName;

        public MyViewHolder(@NonNull View itemView) {
            super(itemView);
            tvName = itemView.findViewById(R.id.tvName);
        }
    }
}

New features

now we need to use ViewPager2.OnPageChangeCallback() to get Swipe event of ViewPager2

SAMPLE CODE

    myViewPager2.registerOnPageChangeCallback(new ViewPager2.OnPageChangeCallback() {
        @Override
        public void onPageScrolled(int position, float positionOffset, int positionOffsetPixels) {
            super.onPageScrolled(position, positionOffset, positionOffsetPixels);
        }

        @Override
        public void onPageSelected(int position) {
            super.onPageSelected(position);

            Log.e("Selected_Page", String.valueOf(position));
        }

        @Override
        public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int state) {
            super.onPageScrollStateChanged(state);
        }
    });

we can set Orientation using myViewPager2.setOrientation()

SAMPLE CODE

For HORIZONTAL Orientation use

myViewPager2.setOrientation(ViewPager2.ORIENTATION_HORIZONTAL);

For VERTICAL Orientation use

myViewPager2.setOrientation(ViewPager2.ORIENTATION_VERTICAL);

We can use notifyDataSetChanged same as we are using in RecyclerView.Adapter

SAMPLE CODE to add new item

    btnAdd.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            arrayList.add("New ITEM ADDED");
            MyAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
        }
    });

SAMPLE CODE to remove new item

    btnRemove.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            arrayList.remove(3);
            MyAdapter.notifyItemRemoved(3);
        }
    });

UPDATE

Try this if you want to use Fragment with ViewPager2

First create a ViewPagerFragmentAdapter class which extends FragmentStateAdapter

import java.util.ArrayList;
import androidx.annotation.NonNull;
import androidx.fragment.app.Fragment;
import androidx.fragment.app.FragmentManager;
import androidx.viewpager2.adapter.FragmentStateAdapter;

public class ViewPagerFragmentAdapter extends FragmentStateAdapter {

    private ArrayList<Fragment> arrayList = new ArrayList<>();

    public ViewPagerFragmentAdapter(@NonNull FragmentManager fragmentManager) {
        super(fragmentManager);
    }

    @NonNull
    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int position) {
        return arrayList.get(position);
    }

    public void addFragment(Fragment fragment) {
        arrayList.add(fragment);
    }

    @Override
    public int getItemCount() {
        return arrayList.size();
    }
}

Now use like this in your activity

import androidx.annotation.Nullable;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import androidx.viewpager2.widget.ViewPager2;
import neel.com.bottomappbar.R;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    ViewPager2 myViewPager2;
    ViewPagerFragmentAdapter myAdapter;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        myViewPager2 = findViewById(R.id.view_pager);

        myAdapter = new ViewPagerFragmentAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());

        // add Fragments in your ViewPagerFragmentAdapter class
        myAdapter.addFragment(new FragmentOne());
        myAdapter.addFragment(new Fragmenttwo());
        myAdapter.addFragment(new FragmentThree());

        // set Orientation in your ViewPager2
        myViewPager2.setOrientation(ViewPager2.ORIENTATION_VERTICAL);

        myViewPager2.setAdapter(myAdapter);

    }

}

for more information check this

• ViewPager2 under the Hood
• Hands on With ViewPager2

UPDATE 2

Version 1.0.0-alpha02

New features

• Ability to disable user input (setUserInputEnabled, isUserInputEnabled)

API changes

• ViewPager2 class final

Bug fixes

• FragmentStateAdapter stability fixes

SAMPLE CODE to disable swiping in viewpager2

myViewPager2.setUserInputEnabled(false);// SAMPLE CODE to disable swiping in viewpager2


myViewPager2.setUserInputEnabled(true);//SAMPLE CODE to enable swiping in viewpager2

UPDATE 3

Version 1.0.0-alpha03

New features

• Ability to programmatically scroll ViewPager2: fakeDragBy(offsetPx).

API changes

• FragmentStateAdapter now requires a Lifecycle object. Two utility constructors added to obtain it from the host FragmentActivity or the host Fragment

SAMPLE CODE

ViewPagerFragmentAdapter

import java.util.ArrayList;
import androidx.annotation.NonNull;
import androidx.fragment.app.Fragment;
import androidx.fragment.app.FragmentManager;
import androidx.lifecycle.Lifecycle;
import androidx.viewpager2.adapter.FragmentStateAdapter;

public class ViewPagerFragmentAdapter extends FragmentStateAdapter {

    private ArrayList<Fragment> arrayList = new ArrayList<>();


    public ViewPagerFragmentAdapter(@NonNull FragmentManager fragmentManager, @NonNull Lifecycle lifecycle) {
        super(fragmentManager, lifecycle);
    }

    @NonNull
    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int position) {
        return arrayList.get(position);
    }

    public void addFragment(Fragment fragment) {
        arrayList.add(fragment);
    }

    @Override
    public int getItemCount() {
        return arrayList.size();
    }
}

MainActivity code

import android.os.Bundle;
import androidx.annotation.Nullable;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import androidx.viewpager2.widget.ViewPager2;
import neel.com.bottomappbar.R;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    ViewPager2 myViewPager2;
    ViewPagerFragmentAdapter myAdapter;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        myViewPager2=findViewById(R.id.view_pager);
        myAdapter = new ViewPagerFragmentAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager(), getLifecycle());

        // add Fragments in your ViewPagerFragmentAdapter class
        myAdapter.addFragment(new FragmentOne());
        myAdapter.addFragment(new Fragmenttwo());
        myAdapter.addFragment(new FragmentThree());

        myViewPager2.setOrientation(ViewPager2.ORIENTATION_VERTICAL);

        myViewPager2.setAdapter(myAdapter);
    }
}

UPDATE 4

Version 1.0.0-alpha05 New features

• ItemDecorator introduced with a behaviour consistent with RecyclerView.
• MarginPageTransformer introduced to provide an ability to create space between pages (outside of page inset).
• CompositePageTransformer introduced to provide an ability to combine multiple PageTransformers

API changes

• FragmentStateAdapter#getItem method renamed to FragmentStateAdapter#createFragment - previous method name has proven to be a source of bugs in the past.
• OFFSCREEN_PAGE_LIMIT_DEFAULT value changed from 0 to -1. No need for a client code change if the OFFSCREEN_PAGE_LIMIT_DEFAULTconstant used.

SAMPLE CODE

Activity code

import androidx.annotation.NonNull;
import androidx.annotation.Nullable;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import androidx.fragment.app.Fragment;
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView;
import androidx.viewpager2.widget.MarginPageTransformer;
import androidx.viewpager2.widget.ViewPager2;
import neel.com.bottomappbar.R;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    ViewPager2 myViewPager2;
    ViewPagerFragmentAdapter myAdapter;
    private ArrayList<Fragment> arrayList = new ArrayList<>();

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        myViewPager2 = findViewById(R.id.myViewPager2);

        // add Fragments in your ViewPagerFragmentAdapter class
        arrayList.add(new FragmentOne());
        arrayList.add(new Fragmenttwo());
        arrayList.add(new FragmentThree());

        myAdapter = new ViewPagerFragmentAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager(), getLifecycle());
        // set Orientation in your ViewPager2
        myViewPager2.setOrientation(ViewPager2.ORIENTATION_HORIZONTAL);

        myViewPager2.setAdapter(myAdapter);

        myViewPager2.setPageTransformer(new MarginPageTransformer(1500));


    }
}

ViewPagerFragmentAdapter

import java.util.ArrayList;
import androidx.annotation.NonNull;
import androidx.fragment.app.Fragment;
import androidx.fragment.app.FragmentManager;
import androidx.lifecycle.Lifecycle;
import androidx.viewpager2.adapter.FragmentStateAdapter;

public class ViewPagerFragmentAdapter extends FragmentStateAdapter {

    private ArrayList<Fragment> arrayList = new ArrayList<>();


    public ViewPagerFragmentAdapter(@NonNull FragmentManager fragmentManager, @NonNull Lifecycle lifecycle) {
        super(fragmentManager, lifecycle);
    }

    @NonNull
    @Override
    public Fragment createFragment(int position) {
        switch (position) {
            case 0:
                return new FragmentOne();
            case 1:
                return new Fragmenttwo();
            case 2:
                return new FragmentThree();

        }
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public int getItemCount() {
        return 3;
    }
}

Solution 2:

Actually now there is an official samples repo for ViewPager2 (linked below)

• https://github.com/android/views-widgets-samples/tree/master/ViewPager2

Repo contains following samples (Quoting from the repo readme below)

Samples

• ViewPager2 with Views - shows how to set up a ViewPager2 with Views as pages
• ViewPager2 with Fragments - shows how to set up a ViewPager2 with Fragments as pages
• ViewPager2 with a Mutable Collection (Views) - demonstrates usage of ViewPager2 with Views as pages and mutations in a page adapter
• ViewPager2 with a Mutable Collection (Fragments) - demonstrates usage of ViewPager2 with Fragments as pages, and mutations in a page adapter
• ViewPager2 with a TabLayout (Views) - shows how to set up a ViewPager2 with Views as pages, and link it to a TabLayout

Simple example of ViewPager2 with Fragments in Kotlin

activity_main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <androidx.viewpager2.widget.ViewPager2
        android:id="@+id/pager2_container"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"/>

</LinearLayout>

MainActivity.kt

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)


        val viewPager2 = findViewById<ViewPager2>(R.id.pager2_container)

        val fragmentList = arrayListOf(
            FirstFragment.newInstance(),
            SecondFragment.newInstance(),
            ThirdFragment.newInstance()
        )
        viewPager2.adapter = ViewPagerAdapter(this, fragmentList)
   }
}

FirstFragment.kt (SecondFragment.kt and ThirdFragment.kt looks similar to FirstFragment.kt)

class FirstFragment : Fragment() {

    override fun onCreateView(
        inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?,
        savedInstanceState: Bundle?
    ): View? {
        return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_first, container, false)
    }

    companion object{
        fun newInstance() = FirstFragment()
    }
}

ViewPagerAdapter.kt

class ViewPagerAdapter(fa:FragmentActivity, private val fragments:ArrayList<Fragment>): FragmentStateAdapter(fa) {

    override fun getItemCount(): Int = fragments.size

    override fun createFragment(position: Int): Fragment = fragments[position]

}

• Medium article by a GDE : Exploring the ViewPager2

Solution 3:

Use of ViewPager2 in Android

As mentioned on Developer Site

API changes

FragmentStateAdapter replaces FragmentStatePagerAdapter

RecyclerView.Adapter replaces PagerAdapter

registerOnPageChangeCallback replaces addPageChangeListener

In Simple Words they make it View Pager adapter work like Recycle View Adapter.

Note:- We don't need to use fragment in View Pager 2. It is fully depend on RecyclerView.Adapter inflate layout.

Here is sample gitHub repo Link

Example:-

MainActivity.class

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    
    private ViewPager2 mPager;
    
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        getSupportActionBar().setTitle("View Pager 2");
        mPager = findViewById(R.id.pager);
        mPager.setAdapter(new MyViewPagerAdapter(this));
    }
    
    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
        return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
    }
    
    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        if (R.id.change == item.getItemId()) {
            mPager.setOrientation(mPager.getOrientation() != ViewPager2.ORIENTATION_VERTICAL ? ViewPager2.ORIENTATION_VERTICAL : ViewPager2.ORIENTATION_HORIZONTAL);
        }
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}

    @Override
    public MyHolder onCreateViewHolder(@NonNull ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
        return new MyHolder(LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.cell_item, parent, false));
    }
    
    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull MyHolder holder, int position) {
      holder.mText.setText("Page "+(position+1));
    }
    
    @Override
    public int getItemCount() {
        return 10;
    }
}
