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 found another solution, based on Shlomi Hasin and antonyt answers, without modifying collection.

ViewPager yourPager;
PagerAdapter yourAdapter;
//....
EndlessPagerAdapter endlessPagerAdapter = new EndlessPagerAdapter(yourAdapter, yourPager);
yourPager.setAdapter(endlessPagerAdapter);
yourPager.setCurrentItem(1);//for correct first page

Full class:

public class EndlessPagerAdapter extends PagerAdapter {

private PagerAdapter adapter;

public EndlessPagerAdapter(PagerAdapter adapter, ViewPager viewPager) {
    this.adapter = adapter;
    viewPager.addOnPageChangeListener(new SwapPageListener(viewPager));
}

@Override
public int getCount() {
    return adapter.getCount() + 2;
}

@Override
public Object instantiateItem(ViewGroup container, int position) {
    if (adapter.getCount() < 2) {
        adapter.instantiateItem(container, position);
    }

    int newPosition;
    if (position == 0) {
        newPosition = adapter.getCount() - 1;
    } else if (position >= getCount() - 1) {
        newPosition = 0;
    } else {
        newPosition = position - 1;
    }
    return adapter.instantiateItem(container, newPosition);
}

@Override
public void destroyItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) {
    adapter.destroyItem(container, position, object);
}

@Override
public void finishUpdate(ViewGroup container) {
    adapter.finishUpdate(container);
}

@Override
public boolean isViewFromObject(View view, Object object) {
    return adapter.isViewFromObject(view, object);
}

@Override
public void restoreState(Parcelable bundle, ClassLoader classLoader) {
    adapter.restoreState(bundle, classLoader);
}

@Override
public Parcelable saveState() {
    return adapter.saveState();
}

@Override
public void startUpdate(ViewGroup container) {
    adapter.startUpdate(container);
}

@Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
    return adapter.getPageTitle(position);
}

@Override
public float getPageWidth(int position) {
    return adapter.getPageWidth(position);
}

@Override
public void setPrimaryItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) {
    adapter.setPrimaryItem(container, position, object);
}

@Override
public void unregisterDataSetObserver(DataSetObserver observer) {
    adapter.unregisterDataSetObserver(observer);
}

@Override
public void registerDataSetObserver(DataSetObserver observer) {
    adapter.registerDataSetObserver(observer);
}

@Override
public void notifyDataSetChanged() {
    adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}

@Override
public int getItemPosition(Object object) {
    return adapter.getItemPosition(object);
}

private class SwapPageListener implements ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener {

    private ViewPager viewPager;

    SwapPageListener(ViewPager viewPager) {
        this.viewPager = viewPager;
    }

    @Override
    public void onPageScrolled(int position, float positionOffset, int positionOffsetPixels) {

    }

    @Override
    public void onPageSelected(int position) {

    }

    @Override
    public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int state) {
        if (state == ViewPager.SCROLL_STATE_IDLE) {
            PagerAdapter pagerAdapter = viewPager.getAdapter();
            if (pagerAdapter != null) {
                int itemCount = pagerAdapter.getCount();
                if (itemCount < 2) {
                    return;
                }
                int index = viewPager.getCurrentItem();
                if (index == 0 ) {
                    viewPager.setCurrentItem(itemCount - 2, false);
                } else if (index == itemCount - 1) {
                    viewPager.setCurrentItem(1, false);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}}

How it works:

We have some collection

then add two additional items to it

show first element on last position and last element on first position

add listener and swap pages on event, from 4 to 1 and from 0 to 3

thats all.

I would not advise you to apply animation there or heavy layouts, it can be lagging when elements swap.(maybe, I did not encounter any lags)

Also don't set this adapter to pager more than once, or move SwapPageListener to external class and set it in initialization block.
