Question

I have a problem actually with my app, my ViewPager and ViewPagerIndicator
( http://viewpagerindicator.com/) are not displaying anything and i don’t see why. I checked everything multiple times (setting correctly the adapter, adding the view in instantiateItem, returning the good size in getCount(),…), tried a few things (changing the layout params in the xml, reworking the MyPagerAdapter class), even looking for a similar issue in Google and here but nothing worked/wans’t my problem.

I also have a bog, don’t know if that has a link, but the instantiateItem method in my PagerAdapter is only called 2 times, while getCount() is well returning 3.

I really don’t know where that can come from, if anybody has an idea i’ll take it with great pleasure :

OnCreate (Of the Activity containing the ViewPager & ViewPagerIndicator) :

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_infos_vehicle);

    title = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.title);

    ll = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.mygallery);

    filenames = new ArrayList<String>();

    [...]

    MyPagerAdapter adapter = new MyPagerAdapter(getResources().getStringArray(R.array.infos_vehicle));

    ViewPager pager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
    pager.setAdapter(adapter);

    TitlePageIndicator indicator = (TitlePageIndicator) findViewById(R.id.titles_pager);
    indicator.setFooterIndicatorStyle(IndicatorStyle.Triangle);
    indicator.setViewPager(pager);

    [...]
}

MyPagerAdapter class (The 3rd case was here for a more visible test, see if it wasn’t my fillGeneral or fillEquipments methods that were messed up) :

private class MyPagerAdapter extends PagerAdapter {

private final String[] TITLES;

public MyPagerAdapter(String[] titles) {
    TITLES = titles;
}

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return (TITLES.length);
    }

    @Override
    public Object instantiateItem(View collection, int position) {
        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        View v = null;

        switch (position) {
        case (0):
            v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.linear_layout, null);
            fillGeneral((ViewGroup) v.findViewById(R.id.layout));
            break;
        case (1):
            v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.linear_layout, null);
            fillEquipments((ViewGroup) v.findViewById(R.id.layout));
            break;
        case (2):
            v = new ImageView(getApplicationContext());
            ((ImageView) v).setImageDrawable(getApplicationContext().getResources().getDrawable(android.R.drawable.alert_dark_frame));
            break;
        }
        ((ViewPager) collection).addView(v);
        return (v);
    }

    @Override
    public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
        return (TITLES[position]);  
    }

    @Override
    public void destroyItem(View collection, int position, Object view) {
        ((ViewPager) collection).removeView((View) view);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isViewFromObject(View arg0, Object arg1) {
        return (arg0.equals(arg1));
    }

    @Override
    public Parcelable saveState() {
        return null;
    }

}

And the activity xml :

            </LinearLayout>

        </HorizontalScrollView>

        <com.viewpagerindicator.TitlePageIndicator
            android:id="@+id/titles_pager"
            android:layout_below="@id/scroll"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent" />

        <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager

            android:layout_height="match_parent"

    </RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>

What it gives me (The Activity ends here and as shown, the ViewPagerIndicator displays nothing) :

Answer 1

Ok so there wasn’t any problem in the end, just me doing mistakes.

As said, the ViewPagerIndicator was just white on white so i can’t see it, fine now.

For the ViewPager, it was just at the very end of my ScrollView, meaning there was no “real” screen space available for it, so the android:layout_height="match_parent" was uneffective. That seems a common issue with ViewPager, i’ll see what i can do to adapt that.

Thanks anyway for the help, i hope this post can be useful to someone !
