I am building an intro slider for my app with a viewpager and dots indicator at the bottom with two buttons for login and sign in , First I had an error with the number of dots ; they multiplied everytime I swipe , then the dots were not moving when I swipe.
activity_main.xml :
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:custom="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@+id/activity_intro"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="@+id/view_pager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/layoutDots"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginBottom="80dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"></LinearLayout>
<Button
android:id="@+id/btn_login"
android:layout_width="200dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_toEndOf="@+id/btn_join"
android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/btn_join"
android:background="#C1403D"
android:onClick="btnLoginClick"
android:text="Se connecter"
android:textColor="@android:color/white" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/btn_join"
android:layout_width="193dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:background="#303952"
android:onClick="btnJoinClick"
android:text="S'enregistrer"
android:textColor="@android:color/white" />
</RelativeLayout>
slide_layout.xml :
the simple slide code :
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@color/bg_screen">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/slide_heading"
android:text="header"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="@android:color/white"
android:textSize="@dimen/slide_title"

<TextView
android:text="Description"
android:id="@+id/slide_description"

android:paddingLeft="@dimen/desc_padding"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/desc_padding"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:textColor="@android:color/white"
android:textSize="17dp" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
SlidesAdapter.java :
public class SlidesAdapter extends PagerAdapter {
Context context;
public SlidesAdapter(Context context) {
this.context = context;
}
public SlidesAdapter() {
}
public String [] slide_headings= {
"Connectez-vous",
"Gérez vos tâches rapidement",
"Suivez vos progrés facilement",
"Accéder aux services de votre université"
};
public String [] slide_descriptions = {
"à \"app name\"",
"Organisez votre travail et vos études et controlez les\n" +
"grâce à un agenda facile à utiliser",
"Enregistrer les notes de matières et suivez vos progrés",
"Découvrez les clubs, bibliothéques et les services de votre université"
};
@Override
public int getCount() {
return slide_headings.length;
}
@Override
public boolean isViewFromObject(View view, Object obj) {
return view == obj;
}
@Override
public Object instantiateItem(ViewGroup container, int position) {
LayoutInflater layoutInflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View view = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.slide_layout, container, false);
TextView slideHeading = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.slide_heading);
TextView slideDescription = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.slide_description);
slideHeading.setText(slide_headings[position]);
slideDescription.setText(slide_descriptions[position]);
ViewPager vp = (ViewPager) container;
container.addView(view,0);
return view;
}
@Override
public void destroyItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) {
ViewPager vp = (ViewPager) container;
View view = (View) object;
vp.removeView(view);
}
}
MainActivity.java:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private ViewPager viewPager;
private SlidesAdapter slidesAdapter;
private LinearLayout dotsLayout;
private TextView[] dots;
private int[] layouts;
private Button btnLogin, btnJoin;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
viewPager = findViewById(R.id.view_pager);
dotsLayout = findViewById(R.id.layoutDots);
btnLogin = findViewById(R.id.btn_login);
btnJoin = findViewById(R.id.btn_join);
slidesAdapter = new SlidesAdapter(this);
viewPager.setAdapter(slidesAdapter);
addBottomDots(0);
viewPager.addOnPageChangeListener(viewListener);
}
private void addBottomDots(int position) {
dots = new TextView[4];
for (int i = 0; i < dots.length; i++) {
dots[i] = new TextView(this);
dots[i].setText(Html.fromHtml("•"));
dots[i].setTextSize(35);
dots[i].setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.dot_inactive));
dotsLayout.addView(dots[i]);
}
if(dots.length>0){
dots[position].setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.dot_active));
}
}
ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener viewListener = new ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onPageScrolled(int i, float v, int i1) {
}
@Override
public void onPageSelected(int position) {
}
@Override
public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int state) {
}
};
}
One way could be that you use circle pager indicator instead of manually adding dots.
In your gradle add :
implementation 'fr.avianey.com.viewpagerindicator:library:2.4.1@aar'
activity_main.xml :
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="@+id/view_pager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_above="@+id/btn_login"
>
</android.support.v4.view.ViewPager>
<com.viewpagerindicator.CirclePageIndicator
android:id="@+id/circle_page_indicator"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="@dimen/_8sdp"
android:layout_above="@+id/btn_login"
app:radius="4dp"/>
Then in your MainActivity.java
slidesAdapter = new SlidesAdapter(this);
viewPager.setAdapter(slidesAdapter);
mPageIndicator = (CirclePageIndicator) findViewById(R.id.circle_page_indicator);
mPageIndicator.setViewPager(mVwPager);
