Create Custom Viewpager in Android Android Kotlin Tutorial

--

In this post, I would like to share the way I have learned to create Custom Viewpager design in Android using Kotlin.

Viewpager is a widget in Android to make swipeable screens. The default view pager allows swiping left and right to see the next slides on the screen. In this post, we’ll see how to create a view pager with a custom view like a carousel UI. The below image is the output of this tutorial.

To make a custom viewpager like this, create the followings in your project
1.Activity for viewpager
2.Custom viewpager adapter by extending PagerAdapter
3.View layout for the page

Activity for Viewpager

Create an Activity for your viewpager, in the activity XML add the viewpager widget inside the layout. Then you have to create the layout for the slides, you can find the complete codes in this post How to Create Android Custom Viewpager Adapter — Android Tutorial

Viewpager Adapter

After completing your layout, create a view pager adapter by extending the PagerAdapter. And send the context and itemList to the adapter.

Setup the Activity

Now in your activity class create the adapter and assign it to the viewpager as below.

For customization of the viewpager add the below code

Also, add a pageChangeListener to the viewpager to handle the slide event, do the following.

and add the viewPagerPageChangeListener to your viewpager

The output of the viewpager will be like this.
