Using android.app.Fragment with ViewPager in Android 3.0+

Question

I am developing an application with Android: minSdkVersion = "11". From what I know, ViewPager is implemented in the compatibility library. I managed to get it to work in my application by adding the android-support-v4.jar library, but now I have to use

android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity

because I need getSupportFragmentManager () for FragmentPagerAdapter instead of the new android.app.Activity getFragmentManager ().

I also need to use

android.support.v4.app.Fragment

instead

android.app.Fragment

It works, although I definitely don't like this approach. It destroys the design of the application, and I do not want to have a compatibility library in my level 11 API project at all.

Are there other more familiar ways to use ViewPager in Honeycomb + applications?

Answer 1

Perhaps this is not the case when the accepted answer was accepted, but there import android.support.v13.app.FragmentStatePagerAdapter; in the sample code . If you use the support library-v13, the constructor takes a non-supporting version of FragmentManager . Note that the ViewPager must still come from v4.

I will also add that v4 means the support library for Android version 4+ (Donut 1.6), and v13 means the support library for Android version 13+ (Honeycomb 3.2). Just a fact that was not immediately clear to me, at least. The API value used in v4 / v13 is compatible with versions and versions back to this point.

Copy the FragmentPagerAdapter into your code and modify it to use android.app.Fragment etc. Or implement your own PagerAdapter yourself, it does not depend on fragments at all.
