Android ViewPager Prev/Next Button

Question

Okay, so I\'m developing an Android app that utilises a ViewPager to display pages.

Within each page, I have a set of buttons to use for navigating between pages (in

Answer 1

Do it like this:

backButton=(Button)findViewById(R.id.back_button);
nextButton=(Button)findViewById(R.id.next_button);
backButton.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);//you can use GONE or even disable it. It depends on your layout 


    nextButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            viewPager.setCurrentItem(viewPager.getCurrentItem()+1, true);
        }
    });


    backButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            viewPager.setCurrentItem(viewPager.getCurrentItem()-1, true);
        }
    });
}

To prevent IndexOutOfBoundsException you should hide and show the two buttons like this :

    viewPager.addOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onPageScrolled(int i, float v, int i1) {

        }
        @Override
        public void onPageSelected(int position) {
            if(position==0) {
                backButton.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
            }else  {
                backButton.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            }
            if(position < viewPager.getAdapter().getCount()-1 ) {
                nextButton.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            }else  {
                nextButton.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
            }
        }
        @Override
        public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int i) {

        }
    });
