Can anyone help me to get a simple library have the feature of sliding image banner with dot over the slider to show the image which is currently present. I have tried with ViewPager. Since I am new to Android, I am confused what to use. I tried many samples from GitHub, but I could make it run successfully. Can anyone give me a simple library for the same feature, horizontally sliding with image.
There are loads of them and most of them works like they are meant to. So check this and this out.
Check this library!
But for dots you have to implement! what you can do is take a linearlayout at the bottom of the screen and add the dots dynamically based on number of images.
and if you want to have some animations while sliding of banners check this link.

How can I add an image to be permanently there? For example in the photo below, the Tinder logo is always at the top, and it has navigational buttons on it.
This is known as the Action Bar, but if you didn't know that I suggest you study how Android Layout works first, otherwise you will just have a bunch of more doubts of how layouts works, it won't take long and will be very clarifying.
I've just started working on CardView and RecycleView and I want to know what are the side buttons that looks like 3 dots on every card and how to implement it.
Cards like we see in Google Play Store app, where there are cards with buttons.
I don't have enough reputation to post a picture but I'm posting this link where you can see it and the buttons are marked in red circle.
I don't think adding a toolbar on every card is a good idea (as suggested in another answer). As you can see in the image itself, there is no space for a full-width toolbar due to images taking up width of layout. So the best way will be to implement it using an ImageButton. Just add an imageButton on top and configure it to open a drop down menu or dialog or whatever.
P.S. Yes, there can be multiple toolbars according to new material design guidelines but having one on every card is probably not a good idea. Especially when it can't even be a full-width component.
You are looking for Toolbar.
It's a new Android Pattern to generalize ActionBar to use in multiple enviroments, like Cards and others.

Firstly, I would like to mention that since i am not sure of the terminology of the view that i am looking for so I shall try and explain the behaviour.
I am looking for build a screen with multiple tabs where the tab indicators do not fit all inside the screen so it is scrollable. This is fine but i want that when the scrolling happens, after the last tab indicator, the tab widget automatically shows the first tab indicator right after it. So kind of like a circular tab widget.
Could someone please give pointers on how this could be achieved in android.
Thanks,
Sunny
I'm not sure, since you're not so clear...but i think you're looking for this:
https://github.com/astuetz/PagerSlidingTabStrip
Sliding tabs like the ones in Google Play.
I'm using a ViewPager to host multiple views, and I want something to visually show where the user is currently located. I don't want to use PagerTitleStrip or PagerTabStrip cause I don't want titles.
I want something similar to the horizontal line in the default launcher of the Nexus 4 shown in here:
When you swipe left or right, there is a slightly bigger rectangle that shows your position relative to the pages.
How can I do this?
PS: I can't use any library cause the code is going to be written in C# with Xamarin, also can't use any Xamarin component cause license won't let it have any more components.
Use the ViewPagerIndicator Library. This has an option for your desire.
ADDITION
I found this official Xamarin ViewPagerIndicator Library. Maybe this would help.
I've been using firefox for Android and really like the use of the sidebar to hold shortcut icons and the like. How would I go about creating a similar bar myself with the following attributes:
progressively revealed as I swipe in one direction
progressively hides as I swipe in the other direction
can be a custom width
I can dynamically inject layout in to it or it can hold static content
Is there any open source code available? If not, what approach would I use to create this?
Sound like you're describing a Gallery control. There are some examples in the ApiDemos project here.
The first part can be solved by using a ListView. The second part I don't know yet. I'm looking for such a component as well.
