How to move ViewPager2 pages automatically?

Answer 1

okay here is the example ...hope you find it helpful

following im giving you the example of how fragments changes automatically using viewpager2....

Dependencies:

   implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.1.0-alpha08'
   implementation 'androidx.viewpager2:viewpager2:1.0.0-beta02'

MainActivity

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
int ci=0;
java.util.Timer timer;
ViewPager2 myViewPager2;
ViewPagerAdapter myAdapter;
private ArrayList<Fragment> arrayList = new ArrayList<>();

@Override
protected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    myViewPager2 = findViewById(R.id.view_pager);

    // add Fragments in your ViewPagerFragmentAdapter class
    arrayList.add(new FirstFragment());
    arrayList.add(new SecondFragment());
    arrayList.add(new ThirdFragment());

    myAdapter = new ViewPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager(), getLifecycle());
    // set Orientation in your ViewPager2
    myViewPager2.setOrientation(ViewPager2.ORIENTATION_HORIZONTAL);

    myViewPager2.setAdapter(myAdapter);

    myViewPager2.setPageTransformer(new MarginPageTransformer(1500));
    timer=new Timer();

    timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            myViewPager2.post(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {

                    Log.d("viewPager",""+ci);
                    myViewPager2.setCurrentItem(ci%7);
                    ci++;

                }
            });
        }
    },1000,3000);//changes 3 second you can change as per requirement
}}

activity main

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context=".MainActivity">

<androidx.viewpager2.widget.ViewPager2
    android:id="@+id/view_pager"

    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />

</LinearLayout>

here is the adapter

public class ViewPagerAdapter extends FragmentStateAdapter {

private ArrayList<Fragment> arrayList = new ArrayList<>();


public ViewPagerAdapter(@NonNull FragmentManager fragmentManager, @NonNull Lifecycle lifecycle) {
    super(fragmentManager, lifecycle);
}

@NonNull
@Override
public Fragment createFragment(int position) {
    switch (position) {
        case 0:
            return new FirstFragment();
        case 1:
            return new SecondFragment();
        case 2:
            return new ThirdFragment();

    }
    return null;
}

@Override
public int getItemCount() {
    return 3;
}}

last but not least you have to add fragments like firstFragment,second so on...

Tiny extension can help you

fun ViewPager2.enableAutoScroll(totalPages: Int): Timer {
    val autoTimerTask = Timer()
    var currentPageIndex = currentItem
    autoTimerTask.schedule(object : TimerTask() {
        override fun run() {
            currentItem = currentPageIndex++
            if (currentPageIndex == totalPages) {
                autoTimerTask.cancel()
            }
        }
    }, 0, DELAY_FOUR_SECONDS)
    return autoTimerTask
}
