Question

I would like to know how to make the horizontalscrollview “snapping” like the home screen do, meaning i have two pages in my horizontalscrollview and i can swipe between each page.

Answer 1

You Have two options for that.

either use ViewFlipper or android Gallery.

I prefer you to use android Gallery as it will be controlled and better approach.

In the Default Android Gallery Example that you will find developer.android.com site
In the adapter it used and in the getView() method an ImageView is returned. You manipulate your code in a manner that it return a inflated xml layout like the following code

  class ImageAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
    int mGalleryItemBackground;
    private Context mContext;



    public ImageAdapter(Context c) {
        mContext = c;
        TypedArray a = obtainStyledAttributes(R.styleable.HelloGallery);
        mGalleryItemBackground = a.getResourceId(
                R.styleable.HelloGallery_android_galleryItemBackground, 0);
        a.recycle();
    }

    public int getCount() {
        return 5;
    }

    public Object getItem(int position) {
        return position;
    }

    public long getItemId(int position) {
        return position;
    }

    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

            convertView = LayoutInflater.from(mContext).inflate(R.layout.ownview, null);

        return convertView;
    }
}
