How to swipe ViewPager images automatically using TimeTask

Question

Hi I am new in android and in my app I have a lot of images in my ArrayList that \'s why I want to swipe those images automatically for every 3 seconds with he

Answer 1

Here is the code for the automatic scroll the viewpager item:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    AutoScrollViewPager viewPager;

    Integer[] imageId = {R.drawable.commitementlogo, R.drawable.like, R.drawable.like_select, R.drawable.plus};
    String[] imagesName = {"image1","image2","image3","image4"};

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

        viewPager= (AutoScrollViewPager) findViewById(R.id.viewpager);
        viewPager.startAutoScroll();
        viewPager.setInterval(3000);
        viewPager.setCycle(true);
        viewPager.setStopScrollWhenTouch(true);

        PagerAdapter adapter = new CustomAdapter(MainActivity.this,imageId,imagesName);
        viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);

    }


}

Here AutoscrollViewpager class:

public class AutoScrollViewPager extends ViewPager {

    public static final int        DEFAULT_INTERVAL            = 1500;

    public static final int        LEFT                        = 0;

    private boolean                isBorderAnimation           = true;

    }
}

here CustomDurationScroller class:

public class CustomDurationScroller extends Scroller {

    private double scrollFactor = 1;

    public CustomDurationScroller(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public CustomDurationScroller(Context context, Interpolator interpolator) {
        super(context, interpolator);
    }

    public void setScrollDurationFactor(double scrollFactor) {
        this.scrollFactor = scrollFactor;
    }

    @Override
    public void startScroll(int startX, int startY, int dx, int dy, int duration) {
        super.startScroll(startX, startY, dx, dy, (int)(duration * scrollFactor));
    }
}

and set the adapter same as you previously set.

Answer 2

Auto swipe ViewPager in Kotlin, simple and easy code.(if you have only 2 page)

val handler = Handler()
val update = Runnable {
       viewPager.setCurrentItem(currentPage % 2, true);
       currentPage++
      }
var timer = Timer()// This will create a new Thread
    timer!!.schedule(object : TimerTask() {
         override fun run() {
         handler.post(update)
         }
   }, 500(DELAY_MS), 3000(PERIOD_MS))

Answer 3

For a simple solution to show a series of images automatically try the ViewFlipper in your xml file. Not suitable for all purposes, but I found it to be a useful solution to something I was putting together.

 <ViewFlipper
android:id="@+id/viewflipper"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:autoStart="true"
android:flipInterval="2000" >

<ImageView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:src="@drawable/picture1" />

<ImageView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:src="@drawable/picture2" />

<ImageView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:src="@drawable/picture3" />

<ImageView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:src="@drawable/picture4" />

<ImageView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:src="@drawable/picture5" />

 int ci=0;
 java.util.Timer timer;
 timer=new Timer();
    timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            viewPager.post(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {

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

                }
            });
        }
    },1000,5000);

it updates every 5seconds(5000)

Answer 5

Your question is already answered here

Add this in your MainActivity.java

//...   
int currentPage = 0;
Timer timer;
final long DELAY_MS = 500;//delay in milliseconds before task is to be executed
final long PERIOD_MS = 3000; // time in milliseconds between successive task executions.


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

    viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.viewPager);
    PagerAdapter adapter = new CustomAdapter(MainActivity.this,imageId,imagesName);
    viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);

    /*After setting the adapter use the timer */
    final Handler handler = new Handler();
    final Runnable Update = new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            if (currentPage == NUM_PAGES-1) {
                currentPage = 0;
            }
            viewPager.setCurrentItem(currentPage++, true);
         }
     };

    timer = new Timer(); // This will create a new Thread 
    timer.schedule(new TimerTask() { // task to be scheduled
        @Override
        public void run() {
            handler.post(Update);
        }
    }, DELAY_MS, PERIOD_MS);
}

Try to use ViewFlipper instead of viewpager

Layout xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<ViewFlipper
    android:id="@+id/imageFrames"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="@android:drawable/screen_background_dark" >
</ViewFlipper>

<Button
    android:id="@+id/slideShowBtn"
    android:layout_width="200dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"

Activity

public class SlideShowActivity extends Activity  {



ViewFlipper imageFrame;
Button slideShowBtn;
Handler handler;
Runnable runnable;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.photo_slideshow_main);
    imageFrame = (ViewFlipper) findViewById(R.id.imageFrames);

            //get sd card path for images

    File parentFolder = new
     File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
     .getAbsolutePath()
     + "/images");

    addFlipperImages(imageFrame, parentFolder);

    handler = new Handler();
    imageFrame.setOnClickListener(SlideShowActivity.this);

    slideShowBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.slideShowBtn);
    slideShowBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) {

            runnable = new Runnable() {

                @Override
                public void run() {
                    handler.postDelayed(runnable, 3000);
                    imageFrame.showNext();

                }
            };
            handler.postDelayed(runnable, 500);
        }
    });

}

private void addFlipperImages(ViewFlipper flipper, File parent) {
    int imageCount = parent.listFiles().length;
    RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
            RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
            RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT);
    for (int count = 0; count < imageCount - 1; count++) {
        ImageView imageView = new ImageView(this);
        Bitmap imbm = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(parent.listFiles()[count]
                .getAbsolutePath());
        imageView.setImageBitmap(imbm);
        imageView.setLayoutParams(params);
        flipper.addView(imageView);
    }

}

}

@Override
public void onClick(View view) {

}
}
