I want to use com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout component with Android's new ViewPager implementation androidx.viewpager2.widget.ViewPager2. However, the setupWithViewPager(..) method provided by TabLayout supports only the old ViewPager implementation. Is there a way to bind a TabLayout to a ViewPager2 component easily?
Open the MainActivity class. Firstly, initialize ViewPager2 and TabLayout then set the adapter on ViewPager2. Then, create a TabLayoutMediator to link the TabLayout to the ViewPager2, and attach it.
This example demonstrates how do I create a Tab Layout in android app. Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project. Step 3 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main. xml.
You have to use this TabLayoutMediator that mimics tabLayout.setupWithViewPager() and sets up the ViewPager2 with Tablayout. Otherwise, you will have to write your own adapter that will combine both parties.
Its code will look like this in Kotlin
TabLayoutMediator(tabLayout, viewPager) { tab, position -> tab.text = tabTitles[position] }.attach()
