I am building an Android application in which I would like to add a button inside the TabLayout. I understand that it is technically feasible but please confirm if it is the recommended approach in Android.
For the reference, below is the sample screenshot. I am looking for similar implementation but instead of displaying only image, I would like to display a checkbox along with a label.
Please help me understand the recommended approach and also please share if any reference in the official documentation about this.
As there are no answers so far, I would like to share my research's key points.
It is not recommended to use icons or some other buttons within the TabLayout.
The TabLayout should be totally allocated in the full width otherwise the user experience will get negatively impacted when we add more number of tab items.

I can't seem to find any good resource or guidelines for making the about section of an app I'm making.
Using a Preference xml seems not a good idea to me as there are no preferences to make. I need to just display textual information. The only interaction required is for showing those Open-source licenses, TOS, the version, etc.
See this about page of the Google app:
I have no clue what is a good (may not be the best) way to implement like in the above linked image.
Any help would be appreciated.
If you want to implement something like this your best bet would be using a RecyclerView with an DividerItemDecoration (for the grey line). The item of your RecyclerView simply needs to support a Title and a Subtitle. The Subtitles visibility should be gone by default, so your item (which should be wrap_content) is not unnecessarily stretched. This way you can reproduce the screen of the image you have linked
If your about page is a static one use constraint layout as parent and textviews as children. But if it is a dynamic list use recyclerview for better performance.
Hello first of all i'm a newbie for the libraries stuff.
I found a Demo Project on Github here but it contains more than i need
I want this like Slider
Image
I have optimized it but its not working. So someone here, please take a look and guide me
Or any other stuff by which i can make that like layout?
Need to use padding for SlidingTabStrip. TabLayout has only app:tabContatentStart property, but you need to set both sides for this behavior.

I saw this when I first started and opened my emulator and wanted to include something like in my application.
Does anyone know how you implement this tutorial? Do you basically have a layout file with a TextView, ImageView, and a Button? And inflate it with some kind of dialog fragment? Is there a way to account for the transparency as well?
I experimented with a dialog fragment but mine looks nothing like the screenshot above. (no transparency, position at center, etc...)
I have never used it so I can not give you a code example. However it is documented in the Help Section of the developer documentation.
This library can help you too.
I am in a situation like i have to generate UI Controls like Button,Switcher,Progress Bar, Label text etc based on my list Items .
I am looking for a way to generate the controls in a View and add Views with generated controls in a Layout .
Can anyone give me a proper way to do that?
Why not to use Fragments?
Google docs about this here
and little tutorial here
You may want to take a look at the Metawidget source code. The Android version of Metawidget makes extensive use of generating Views and Layouts at runtime (e.g. see org.metawidget.android.widget.widgetbuilder.AndroidWidgetBuilder). You may even find Metawidget itself will suit your needs (it's designed to be embedded into projects for use-cases such as this).
I've been updating an Android app today which so far had a single TableLayout-based View. Now, I'd like to duplicate that View with another set of backing data, and use horizontal swiping to switch between both. At some point I'd also like to add a third "page" with a different TableLayout.
I haven't really found any good ways to get this going. I've been looking at http://developer.android.com/training/implementing-navigation/lateral.html, and I actually copied the code fragment for the Tabs Pattern with NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS. That results in a little dropdown widget being added to the View title in the action bar, but clicking it doesn't show the tabs I set up (with actionBar.addTab()). I'm also not sure how to set up the view (XML) code to stick the TableLayouts in there.
I should mention that I don't have to care for pre-4.0 Android for this, so compatibility is not (much of) an issue.
Try to Use ViewPager Widget you can find useful links on the web, this widget handle the horizontal swiping between views.

Try ViewPager. Here is an Android Developers Blog post on ViewPager: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2011/08/horizontal-view-swiping-with-viewpager.html
Here is a small sample app using ViewPager: https://github.com/commonsguy/cw-omnibus/tree/master/ViewPager/Fragments
None of the other answers ended up helping much. However, this one is pretty good:
