I thought of posting a simpler solution for the above problem and indicator numbers can be dynamically changed with only changing one variable value dotCounts=x what I did goes like this.
1) Create an xml file in drawable folder for page selected indicator named "item_selected".
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval" android:useLevel="true"
android:dither="true">
<size android:height="8dp" android:width="8dp"/>
<solid android:color="@color/image_item_selected_for_dots"/>
</shape>
2) Create one more xml file for unselected indicator named "item_unselected"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval" android:useLevel="true"
android:dither="true">
<size android:height="8dp" android:width="8dp"/>
<solid android:color="@color/image_item_unselected_for_dots"/>
</shape>
3) Now add add this part of the code at the place where you want to display the indicators for ex below viewPager in your Layout XML file.
<RelativeLayout
android:id="@+id/viewPagerIndicator"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_below="@+id/banner_pager"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center">
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/viewPagerCountDots"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="horizontal" />
</RelativeLayout>
4) Add this function on top of your activity file file where your layout is inflated or the above xml file is related to
private int dotsCount=5; //No of tabs or images
private ImageView[] dots;
LinearLayout linearLayout;
private void drawPageSelectionIndicators(int mPosition){
if(linearLayout!=null) {
linearLayout.removeAllViews();
}
linearLayout=(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.viewPagerCountDots);
dots = new ImageView[dotsCount];
for (int i = 0; i < dotsCount; i++) {
dots[i] = new ImageView(context);
if(i==mPosition)
dots[i].setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.item_selected));
else
dots[i].setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.item_unselected));
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT
);
params.setMargins(4, 0, 4, 0);
linearLayout.addView(dots[i], params);
}
}
5) Finally in your onCreate method add the following code to reference your layout and handle pageselected positions
drawPageSelectionIndicators(0);
mPager.addOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onPageScrolled(int position, float positionOffset, int positionOffsetPixels) {
}
@Override
public void onPageSelected(int position) {
drawPageSelectionIndicators(position);
}
@Override
public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int state) {
}
});
