Our aim is to help you create a sliding tutorial in a fast and simple manner. So we’ve done some work and voila!. A simple Android Sliding Tutorial library is at your service.

Also you can watch the animation of the Sliding Tutorial for Android on YouTube in HD quality.

The invention is going to ease the problem of structural design but not to limit a stretch of your imagination at the same time. We took care of the suitability aspect. So, your app is not going to look alien among other Android elements.

Read our Case Study: Sliding tutorial for Android by Cleveroad to make sure that you don’t miss a detail:

##Using

First, add gradle dependency with command:

dependencies {
    compile 'com.cleveroad:slidingtutorial:0.9.5'
}

After you have to create each fragment that must extend from PageFragment. Also you have to create your xml file with images.

public class FirstCustomPageFragment extends PageFragment {

    @Override
    protected int getLayoutResId() {
        // layout id of fragment
        return R.layout.fragment_page_first;
    }

    @Override
    protected TransformItem[] provideTransformItems() {
        // list of transformation items
        return new TransformItem[]{
                new TransformItem(R.id.ivFirstImage, true, 20),
                new TransformItem(R.id.ivSecondImage, false, 6),
                new TransformItem(R.id.ivThirdImage, true, 8),
                new TransformItem(R.id.ivFourthImage, false, 10),
                new TransformItem(R.id.ivFifthImage, false, 3),
                new TransformItem(R.id.ivSixthImage, false, 9),
                new TransformItem(R.id.ivSeventhImage, false, 14),
                new TransformItem(R.id.ivEighthImage, false, 7)
        };
    }
}

Then you should provide these fragments in main slidingtutroial fragment

public class CustomPresentationPagerFragment extends PresentationPagerFragment {

    @Override
    public int getLayoutResId() {
        // layout id of fragment
        return R.layout.fragment_presentation;
    }

    @Override
    public int getViewPagerResId() {
        // id of view pager
        return R.id.viewPager;
    }

    @Override
    public int getIndicatorResId() {
        // id of circular indicator
        return R.id.indicator;
    }

    @Override
    public int getButtonSkipResId() {
        // id of skip button
        return R.id.tvSkip;
    }

    @Override
    protected int getPagesCount() {
        // total number of pages
        return 3;
    }

    @Override
    protected PageFragment getPage(int position) {
        // get page for position
        if (position == 0)
            return new FirstCustomPageFragment();
        if (position == 1)
            return new SecondCustomPageFragment();
        if (position == 2)
            return new ThirdCustomPageFragment();
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("Unknown position: " + position);
    }

    @ColorInt
    @Override
    protected int getPageColor(int position) {
        // get color of page
        if (position == 0)
            return ContextCompat.getColor(getContext(), android.R.color.holo_orange_dark);
        if (position == 1)
            return ContextCompat.getColor(getContext(), android.R.color.holo_green_dark);
        if (position == 2)
            return ContextCompat.getColor(getContext(), android.R.color.holo_blue_dark);
        return Color.TRANSPARENT;
    }

    @Override
    protected boolean isInfiniteScrollEnabled() {
        // enable/disable infinite scroll behavior
        return true;
    }
    
    @Override
    protected boolean onSkipButtonClicked() {
        // your own behavior goes here
        // ...
        // return true to consume click event, false otherwise
        return true;
    }
}

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        app:st_fillColor="@android:color/white"

        app:st_radius="4dp"
        app:st_strokeColor="#00000000"
        app:st_strokeWidth="0dp"/>

Migrations from v.0.9 to v.0.9.1

####CirclePageIndicator This class is final now. Make sure you're not extending from it.

####LayersHolder This class is package-local now. Make sure you're not using it.

####PageFragment getRootResId() and getBackgroundColorResId() methods are deprecated. You can remove them now. To specify page's color use PresentationPagerFragment.getPageColor(int) method.
