Android TabLayout Tutorial

Android TabLayout Tutorial

Android Tab  Layout is The Popular Layout in Android. We See This Layout in Many Example of Application Like Whatsapp. 

Tab Layout Contain Features Like Swapping Fragment With Out Destroying Fragment Means We Run Multi Fragment Simultaneously.

Each Tab in Tab Activity is A Fragment Which We Add In Our Activity Using View Pager.

Lets Start Create Today a Simple Tab Fragment With Three Tab and Each Tab Had its Own Fragment.

Step 1. Open Android Studio and Create a New Project.

Step 2 . Select Minimum Sdk Version

Step 3 .  Select Tabbed Activity

Step 4 . Select Navigation Style.

Here Navigation is Three Types :-

1.Swipe Views : - Means No Tab Coming On Top.

2.Action Bar Tabs : - Means Activity with Top Tabs.

3.Action Bar Spinner : - Select Option for Switiching Tabs.

Meanwhile After This All Your Finger Swipe Will Work in All.

Step 5 . Now Our Project is Created But We Need To Implement Fragment.

Step 7. Create 3 Blank Fragment.

Step 8. This is Our New Project Structure.

 

Step 9. Now i am Going to Create a List With Fragment Datatype And Add the List in Viewpager Adapter.

Let's See.

//============Creating A List Of Fragments=============

    List<Fragment> fragments=new ArrayList<>();
        fragments.add(new HomeFragment());
        fragments.add(new ProfileFragment());
        fragments.add(new ContactFrament());

Now Passing List in Constructor for Page Adapter
 

//===========passing list in contstructor for in fragment page Adapter====
        mSectionsPagerAdapter = new SectionsPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager(),fragments);

This Our Page Adapter Class
 

    public class SectionsPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
        List<Fragment> fragmentList=new ArrayList<>();

        public SectionsPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm,List<Fragment> fragments) {
            super(fm);
            fragmentList=fragments;
        }


        @Override
        public Fragment getItem(int position) {
            // getItem is called to instantiate the fragment for the given page.
            // Return a PlaceholderFragment (defined as a static inner class below).
            return fragmentList.get(position);
        }


        @Override
        public int getCount() {
            // Show 3 total pages.
            return fragmentList.size();
        }
    }

Now Our Final Main Activity Code

</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

Now Here I Don't Write My Fragment Code Because it Simple Blank Fragment.

Final Output :

You Can Change Title of Tab By Editing The Text from Tabitem in activity_main.xml.

 

            <android.support.design.widget.TabItem
                android:id="@+id/tabItem3"
