ViewPager in Android allows the user to flip left and right through pages of data. In our android ViewPager application we'll implement a ViewPager that swipes through three views with different images and texts.
ViewPager2 is an improved version of the ViewPager library that offers enhanced functionality and addresses common difficulties with using ViewPager . If your app already uses ViewPager , read this page to learn more about migrating to ViewPager2 .
ViewPager is a layout manager that allows the user to flip left and right through pages of data. It is mostly found in apps like Youtube, Snapchat where the user shifts right – left to switch to a screen. Instead of using activities fragments are used.
Try pager. setOffscreenPageLimit(1); This will retain one fragment at a time. this will retain in "memory" one however it will create the fragment every time the use swype.
You can use ViewPager with native fragments from the android.app package with the adapters from the android.support.v13.app package. You have to use the v13 support jar for that.
There are two versions of the adapters that work with ViewPager, the ones in the v4 package are meant to be used with support fragments, the ones in v13 with native fragments.
The reason why there are now two fragment implementations is historical: Fragments in the android.app package were introduced with Android 3 for tablets only and the support library was created to bring fragments to phones running older versions. On Android 4 you have both.
From my own experience I would recommend using support fragments, even when developing for Android 4. Here are some reasons: Fragment or Support Fragment?
android.app.Fragment class is deprecated since Android P (link), so only android.support.v4.app.Fragment should be used everywhere.
If you're going to target API 11+, you won't need the support library [and your actual apk will be smaller, at least).
If you want to support anything before Android 3.x, you'll need the support library.
