Fragments can also be used with the ViewPager component - a container that lets the user swipe from side to side to navigate a data set. Each instance of a fragment represents a page. The ViewPager manages the creation of pages, and passes data to each page as it's needed. All you need to do is create the fragment and its layout, and then wrap the fragment with the ViewPager component.
- [Voiceover] A ViewPager component allows the user to…swipe though a data set,…seeing one data element at a time.…It's essentially an alternative to a list view,…but it let's each item occupy the entire screen…or some portion of the screen as a fragment.…In order to create the pages in a ViewPager…you start with a fragment.…The fragment looks just like fragments…that use in other ways,…either as parts of activities or in dialogues.…So if you've been following along in this course…the process of creating the fragment itself…will look familiar.…
In this project ViewPagerFragment,…I'm starting with a static data set.…There are a number of products…each with four values,…a product ID, a name,…a description, and a price.…Those are represented in this Java class named Product…with private fields and getters.…There is also a constructor here that is used in…the data provider class.…My goal is to create a ViewPager component that…allows the user to see one product at a time.…
I'll be creating the product…and passing it to a fragment.…
