Viewpager Title Doesn't Appear Until I Swipe It

I am learning to use ViewPager and PagerTabStrip to implement navigation bar. I have implemented it, my problem is: every time I open the app fresh, the titles don't show, but afte

Solution 1:

It is an issue appeared in com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0. You can refer here https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=183127

In that link google support team have mention that defect would be fixed in future releases. So for now solution is build the project using com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.1

Update : If feasible for you then you can go ahead with another solution provided by @nidheeshdas. I have tried on simple project; it work Modified solution of @nidheeshdas inside onResume() of Activity

viewPager.setCurrentItem(1);
    viewPager.postDelayed(newRunnable() {
        @Overridepublicvoidrun() {
            viewPager.setCurrentItem(0);
        }
    },100);

New Update: As mentioned in the above google issue tracker link and comments from JP Ventura. I have tried with new version of library and issue seems to be fixed.

Solution 2:

Instead of using android.support.v4.view.PagerTabStrip , use android.support.design.widget.TabLayout for displaying tabs for viewPager. It is included in Google Design Support Library.

See this link for more information http://android-developers.blogspot.in/2015/05/android-design-support-library.html

Just few lines:

viewPager=(ViewPager)v.findViewById(R.id.viewPager);

ViewPagerAdapter adapter=new ViewPagerAdapter(this.getChildFragmentManager(),doctor);
adapter.setViewPagerFragmentListener(this);
viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);

tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(viewPager);  //Sync Tabs with viewPager
tabLayout.setTabsFromPagerAdapter(adapter);  //Setup tabs titles 

And to change the titles use the following code in ViewPagerAdapter

@Overridepublic CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
    switch (position){
        case0:
            return"Title 1";
        case1:
            return"Title 2";
        case2:
            return"Title 3";
    }
    returnsuper.getPageTitle(position);
}

Solution 3:

I also recently started to have this problem, and after a little bit of testing I think I found a bug in Android's latest support package update.

The problem appears in to be in com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0.

Try changing the dependency back to com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.1 (second latest update) and see if that works.

Unfortunately, I have yet to find any solution to get it to work with the latest support package update.

Solution 4:

Try this. Its seems to be working for me.

@OverrideprotectedvoidonResume() {
    super.onResume();
    pager.setCurrentItem(1);
    Task.delay(500).continueWith(newContinuation<Void, Object>() {
        @OverridepublicObjectthen(Task<Void> task) throws Exception {
            pager.setCurrentItem(0);
            returnnull;
        }
    }, Task.UI_THREAD_EXECUTOR);
}

onResume set the pager to 1 and then back to 0. This makes the title appear the page loads the first time.
