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"

<TextView

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

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"?>
