Android Indefinite Pager Indicator

A lightweight, plug-and-play indefinite pager indicator for RecyclerViews & ViewPagers.

Usage

Important Information

From now on, all the new updates will be published in jitpack.io.

To use the IndefinitePagerIndicator, simply add the gradle dependency to your module's build.gradle file:

implementation 'com.github.rbro112:Android-Indefinite-Pager-Indicator:Tag'

implementation 'com.github.wching:Android-Indefinite-Pager-Indicator:Tag'

both of them work 😃

Min SDK supported is version 16 - Jelly Bean.

Getting Started

Attaching the indicator to a RecyclerView / Viewpager / Viewpager2 takes only one line of code. After this, the Indefinite Pager Indicator will handle everything else.

RecyclerView

Add the IndefinitePagerIndicator view to your XML file

<com.rbrooks.indefinitepagerindicator.IndefinitePagerIndicator
        android:id="@+id/recyclerview_pager_indicator"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        ... 
        />

Find the view in your activity, fragment, etc.

findViewById(R.id.recyclerview_pager_indicator);

Attach the RecyclerView to your IndefinitePagerIndicator

indefinitePagerIndicator.attachToRecyclerView(recyclerView);

That's it! The IndefinitePagerIndicator will handle updating as your RecyclerView does.

ViewPager

Add the IndefinitePagerIndicator view to your XML file

<com.rbrooks.indefinitepagerindicator.IndefinitePagerIndicator
        android:id="@+id/viewpager_pager_indicator"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        ... 
        />

Find the view in your activity, fragment, etc.

findViewById(R.id.viewpager_pager_indicator);

Attach the ViewPager to your IndefinitePagerIndicator

indefinitePagerIndicator.attachToViewPager(viewPager);

That's it! The IndefinitePagerIndicator will handle updating as your ViewPager does.

The position of the ViewPager can also be changed programmatically with viewPager.setCurrentItem(position) and the IndefinitePagerIndicator will update successfully.
