Infinite Scrolling Image ViewPager

Question

As documented by Google, the Gallery class was deprecated in API level 16. This widget is no longer supported. Other horizontally scrolling widgets include HorizontalScrollV

Answer 1

I think my solution is simpler.

Attention to my array of images structure:

Item 0          => last image

Item count()-1  => first image

The trick is on onPageScrollStateChanged:

When user scrolls to last item -> the pager jumps without animation to first image (position = 1)

When user scrolls to first item -> the pager jumps without animation to last image (position = count - 2)

public class InfiniteScrollingActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

    private ViewPager     pager;
    private MyAdapter     adapter;
    int[] promoImageIds = new int[]{R.drawable.cover6, R.drawable.cover1, R.drawable.cover2, R.drawable.cover3, R.drawable.cover4, R.drawable.cover5, R.drawable.cover6, R.drawable.cover1 };

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

        adapter = new MyAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager(), promoImageIds);
        pager = (ViewPager)findViewById(R.id.pager);
        pager.setAdapter(adapter);
        pager.setCurrentItem( 1 );
        pager.setOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public void onPageSelected(int index) {
                Log.v( "onPageSelected", String.valueOf( index ) );
            }

            @Override
            public void onPageScrolled(int arg0, float arg1, int arg2) {
                // Log.v("onPageScrolled", "");
            }

            @Override
            public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int state) {
                Log.v("onPageScrollStateChanged", String.valueOf(state));

                if (state ==ViewPager.SCROLL_STATE_IDLE) {
                    int index = pager.getCurrentItem();
                    if ( index == 0 )
                        pager.setCurrentItem( adapter.getCount() - 2, false );
                    else if ( index == adapter.getCount() - 1 )
                        pager.setCurrentItem( 1 , false);
                }
            }
        });
    }


    public static class MyAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {

        int[] promoImageIds;

        public MyAdapter(FragmentManager fm, int[] promoImageIds){
            super(fm);
            this.promoImageIds = promoImageIds;
        }

        @Override
        public int getCount(){
            return promoImageIds.length;
        }

        @Override
        public Fragment getItem(int position) {

            return PromoFragment.newInstance( promoImageIds[position] );
        }
    }

    public static class PromoFragment extends Fragment
    {
        int imageID;


        static PromoFragment newInstance( int imageID)
        {
            PromoFragment f = new PromoFragment();

            // Supply num input as an argument.
            Bundle args = new Bundle();
            args.putInt( "imageID", imageID );
            f.setArguments(args);

            return f;
        }

        @Override
        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
        {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            imageID = getArguments() != null ? getArguments().getInt( "imageID" ) : null;
        }

        @Override
        public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                                 Bundle savedInstanceState)
        {
            ImageView v = (ImageView) inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_image, container, false);
            v.setImageResource( imageID );
            return v;
        }
    }
