DPA aims to provide a flexible and customizable instrument for automated updated of adjacent instantiated view or fragment for a ViewPager Adapter.

Features

• Developed for both PagerAdapter and FragmentStatePagerAdapter
• Android 1.5+ support

Downloads

Setup

DexPagerAdapter is pushed to Maven Central as an AAR. Add the following to build.gradle.

dependencies {
compile 'it.dex.dexpageradapter:dexpageradapterlib:0.1.0'
}

or the following using Maven:

 <dependency>
<groupid>it.dex.dexpageradapter</groupid>
<artifactid>dexpageradapterlib</artifactid>
<version>0.1.0</version>
<type>aar</type>
</dependency>

Usage

This section show you how to use the provided views without questioning how it works.

This library provides 2 PagerAdapter to be extended:

• DexPagerAdapter
• DexFragmentStatePagerAdapter

DexPagerAdater

It has 2 abstract methods you must implement:

publicViewgetView(intposition, ViewPagerviewPager);
publicvoidupdateAddedItems(Viewview, intposition);

The first one replace the PagerAdapter.instantiateItem(ViewGroup container, int position) method. The second one is used to update all the instantiated and added Views to the ViewPager. Every time a ViewPager.notifyDataSetChanged() method is called, the updateAddedItems is called for all ViewPager added views. This helps you change or update UI of adjacent pages.

Ex.

@OverridepublicvoidupdateAddedItems(Viewview, intposition) {
TextViewtext = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.text_view);
text.setText(text);
}

DexFragmentStatePagerAdater

It uses Generics to update the same type of Fragment. It has 2 abstract methods you must implement:

publicabstractTgetFragment(intposition);
publicvoidupdateAddedItems(Tfragment, intposition);

The first one replace the FragmentStatePagerAdapter.getItem(int position) method. The second one is used to update all the instantiated and added Fragment to the ViewPager. Every time a ViewPager.notifyDataSetChanged() method is called, the updateAddedItems is called for all ViewPager added fragments. This helps you change or update UI of adjacent fragment pages.

Ex.

@OverridepublicvoidupdateAddedItems(ItemFragmentitemFragment, intposition) {
itemFragment.doSomething();
}
