Question

Hi experts, can you please suggest me how can i start the work to get only that image+text swipping effect. Actually, we have an RSS link, from that link we need to fetch and display the images and description as shown above. I have completed RSS data fetching and image displaying with respect to left/right arrows but i could not able to add swiping effect on images. In many examples, onTouchEvent() method is used but it applies to entire layout swipping, i dont want that effect.

Thanks

Answer 1

the easiest way to do it would be to replace your ImageView with a Gallery. It is a simple widget for displaying a rotating strip of images. You can then implement one of the callbacks (onFling would work) to know when to load new data for the list view below.

Here’s the official Android tutorial on using the Gallery widget.
