README

Android PagerSlidingTabStrip

Interactive paging indicator widget, compatible with the ViewPager from the Android Support Library.

Try out the sample application on the Play Store.

Usage

For a working implementation of this project see the sample/ folder.

1. Include the library as local library project or add the dependency in your build.gradle.

   dependencies {
       compile 'com.astuetz:pagerslidingtabstrip:1.0.1'
   }
   

2. Include the PagerSlidingTabStrip widget in your layout. This should usually be placed above the ViewPager it represents.

   <com.astuetz.PagerSlidingTabStrip
       android:id="@+id/tabs"
       android:layout_width="match_parent"
       android:layout_height="48dip" />
   

3. In your onCreate method (or onCreateView for a fragment), bind the widget to the ViewPager.

    // Initialize the ViewPager and set an adapter
    ViewPager pager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
    pager.setAdapter(new TestAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager()));
   
    // Bind the tabs to the ViewPager
    PagerSlidingTabStrip tabs = (PagerSlidingTabStrip) findViewById(R.id.tabs);
    tabs.setViewPager(pager);
   

4. (Optional) If you use an OnPageChangeListener with your view pager you should set it in the widget rather than on the pager directly.

    // continued from above
    tabs.setOnPageChangeListener(mPageChangeListener);
   

Customization

To not just look like another Play Store styled app, go and adjust these values to match your brand:

• pstsIndicatorColor Color of the sliding indicator
• pstsUnderlineColor Color of the full-width line on the bottom of the view
• pstsDividerColor Color of the dividers between tabs
• pstsIndicatorHeightHeight of the sliding indicator
• pstsUnderlineHeight Height of the full-width line on the bottom of the view
• pstsDividerPadding Top and bottom padding of the dividers
• pstsTabPaddingLeftRight Left and right padding of each tab
• pstsScrollOffset Scroll offset of the selected tab
• pstsTabBackground Background drawable of each tab, should be a StateListDrawable
• pstsShouldExpand If set to true, each tab is given the same weight, default false
• pstsTextAllCaps If true, all tab titles will be upper case, default true

All attributes have their respective getters and setters to change them at runtime
