Android ViewPagerIndicator
==========================
Port of [Patrik Åkerfeldt][1]'s paging indicators that are compatible with the
ViewPager from the [Android Compatibility Library][2] and
[ActionBarSherlock][3].
Try out the sample application [on the Android Market][10].
![ViewPagerIndicator Sample Screenshots][9]
Usage
=====
*For a working implementation of this project see the `sample/` folder.*
1. Include one of the widgets in your view. This should usually be placed
adjacent to the `ViewPager` it represents.
<com.viewpagerindicator.TitlePageIndicator
android:id="@+id/titles"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" />
2. In your `onCreate` method (or `onCreateView` for a fragment), bind the
indicator to the `ViewPager`.
//Set the pager with an adapter
ViewPager pager = (ViewPager)findViewById(R.id.pager);
pager.setAdapter(new TestAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager()));
//Bind the title indicator to the adapter
TitlePageIndicator titleIndicator = (TitlePageIndicator)findViewById(R.id.titles);
titleIndicator.setViewPager(pager);
*Note*: If you are using `TitlePageIndicator` your adapter must implement
`TitleProvider`.
3. *(Optional)* If you use an `OnPageChangeListener` with your view pager
you should set it in the indicator rather than on the pager directly.
//continued from above
titleIndicator.setOnPageChangeListener(mPageChangeListener);
Theming
-------
There are three ways to style the look of the indicators.
1. **Theme XML**. An attribute for each type of indicator is provided in which
you can specify a custom style.
2. **Layout XML**. Through the use of a custom namespace you can include any
desired styles.
3. **Object methods**. Both styles have getters and setters for each style
attribute which can be changed at any point.
Each indicator has a demo which creates the same look using each of these
methods.
Including In Your Project
-------------------------
Android-ViewPagerIndicator is presented as an [Android library project][7]. A
standalone JAR is not possible due to the theming capabilities offered by the
indicator widgets.
You can include this project by [referencing it as a library project][8] in
Eclipse or ant.
If you are a Maven user you can easily include the library by specifying it as
a dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.viewpagerindicator</groupId>
<artifactId>library</artifactId>
<version>2.2.2</version>
<type>apklib</type>
</dependency>
You must also include the following repository:
<repository>
<id>com.jakewharton</id>
<url>http://r.jakewharton.com/maven/release</url>
</repository>
This project depends on the `ViewPager` class which is available in the
[Android Compatibility Library][2] or [ActionBarSherlock][3]. Details for
including one of those libraries is available on their respecitve web sites.
