ViewPager is a class and UI widgets in android that allow the user to swipe the page left to right or right to left to see an entirely new screen. ViewPager provide a facility to dynamically add and remove pages at any time on your project. It is very useful for showing multiple tabs on your android screen. If you have using ViewPager then you have to keep the knowledge of Fragment and PagerAdapters and TabLayout.
Here, we are implementing a ViewPager Example using View and Adapter classes.
Android ViewPager File Structure Example
Android ViewPager Example:
activity_main.java
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="com.example.msclient009.tablayoutexample.MainActivity">
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
android:id="@+id/tabLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:tabTextColor="#fff"
android:background="#1db995">
</android.support.design.widget.TabLayout>
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="@+id/viewPager"
android:layout_width="355dp"
android:layout_height="455dp"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/tabLayout"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="8dp">
</android.support.v4.view.ViewPager>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
