android SlidingTab start activity?

I have 3 Tabs (Slidingtablayout). The left tab has a fragment and the right tab has a fragment.
But the tab in the middle should start a new activity and not have a fragment.
Is this possible and how can i do this?
MainActivity
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
MyPageAdapter pagerAdapter;
List<Fragment> fragments;
ViewPager viewPager;
SlidingTabLayout tabLayout;
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// initializing SlidiTabLayout
tabLayout = (SlidingTabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tabLayout);
// Customizing SlidingTabLayout
tabLayout.setCustomTabView(R.layout.custom_tab, 0);
tabLayout.setDistributeEvenly(true);
// initializing PagerAdapter
fragments = getFragments();
pagerAdapter = new MyPageAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager(), fragments, this);
// initializing ViewPager
viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
viewPager.setAdapter(pageAdapter);
tabLayout.setViewPager(viewPager);
}
// adding fagments
public List<Fragment> getFragments() {
List<Fragment> addFragment = new ArrayList<Fragment>();
addFragment.add(ExampleFragment.newInstance());
// Activity instead of fragment
addFragment.add(Change this .newInstance());
addFragment.add(ExampleFragment.newInstance());
return addFragment;
}
MyPagerAdapter
public class MyPageAdapter extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter {
private final List<Fragment> fragments;
private CharSequence Titles[];
private Context context;
int icons [] = {R.drawable.lefticon, R.drawable.middleicon, R.drawable.righticon};
Drawable drawable;
public MyPageAdapter(FragmentManager fm, List<Fragment> fragments, Context context) {
super(fm);
this.fragments = fragments;
this.context = context;
}
#Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
drawable = context.getResources().getDrawable(icons[position]);
drawable.setBounds(0, 0, drawable.getIntrinsicWidth(), drawable.getIntrinsicHeight());
SpannableString sb = new SpannableString(" ");
ImageSpan imageSpan = new ImageSpan(drawable, ImageSpan.ALIGN_BOTTOM);
sb.setSpan(imageSpan, 0, 1, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
return sb;
}
// this.fragments.get(position)
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
return this.fragments.get(position);
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return this.fragments.size();
}
}
How the fragments look like:
public class PlayFragment extends Fragment {
public static final String EXTRA_MESSAGE = "EXTRA_MESSAGE";
public static final ExampleFragment newInstance()
{
PlayFragment mf = new PlayFragment();
Bundle bd = new Bundle(1);
mf.setArguments(bd);

}
}
}
}
And i tried something too. Because i want to have:
3 Tabs
2 Fragments
Tab in the middle should be without fragment
I edited this method here (MainActivity):
// adding fragments
public List<Fragment> getFragments() {
List<Fragment> addFragment = new ArrayList<Fragment>();
addFragment.add(ExampleFragment.newInstance());
delete middle fragment
//addFragment.add(ExampleFragment.newInstance());
addFragment.add(ExampleFragment.newInstance());
return addFragment;
}
I deleted one Fragment.
Which means i accomplished the goal to have 2 Fragments.
2 Fragments check
Because i only have as much tabs as fragments, that would mean that i'd only have 2 Tabs too.
So i went to the SlidingTabLayout and changed this method:
I changed the for loop to this |i < 3| instead of |i < adapter.getCount();|
private void populateTabStrip() {
final PagerAdapter adapter = mViewPager.getAdapter();
final View.OnClickListener tabClickListener = new TabClickListener();
// 3 instead of adapter.getCount(); | For 3 tabs
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
View tabView = null;
TextView tabTitleView = null;
if (mTabViewLayoutId != 0) {
// If there is a custom tab view layout id set, try and inflate it
tabView = LayoutInflater.from(getContext()).inflate(mTabViewLayoutId, mTabStrip,
false);
tabTitleView = (TextView) tabView.findViewById(mTabViewTextViewId);
}
if (tabView == null) {
tabView = createDefaultTabView(getContext());
}
if (tabTitleView == null && TextView.class.isInstance(tabView)) {
tabTitleView = (TextView) tabView;
}
if (mDistributeEvenly) {
LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp = (LinearLayout.LayoutParams) tabView.getLayoutParams();
lp.width = 0;
lp.weight = 1;
}
tabTitleView.setText(adapter.getPageTitle(i));
tabView.setOnClickListener(tabClickListener);
String desc = mContentDescriptions.get(i, null);
if (desc != null) {
tabView.setContentDescription(desc);
}
mTabStrip.addView(tabView);
if (i == mViewPager.getCurrentItem()) {
tabView.setSelected(true);
}
}
}
And Now:
3 Tabs check
and
2 SlidingTablayout check
but not
Tab in the middle should be without fragment
I had 3 Fragments and 3 Tabs i deleted one Fragment and this caused that the last fragment moved one position up. Now the right fragment is in the position of the middle fragment. Now when i click on the middle tab i get the fragment which was on the right tab.
In this case my question is how to get the fragment which moved now in the position of the middle tab back to the right tab.
Hope you understand what i want. Sorry for my bad english :).

Firstly, You NEED those fragments to Navigate between 3 tabs. So my solution is, since you need to launch an activity from 2nd Tab, Use 3 fragment. Yes 3 fragments, so use this code in the onResume() method of the Middle fragment:
Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), YOUR_ACTIVITY_NAME.class);
startActivity(intent);
This should take you to a new activity.
Secondly, launching Activity for the 2nd Tab is a very bad design of your Application. I recommend not following this design if you are planning to release this application in the Play store. Use Navigation Drawer instead.

Create two fragment and one activity
Add activity to the tab as below
TabHost tabHost = getTabHost();
TabHost.TabSpec spec;
Intent intent;
intent = new Intent().setClass(this, SecondActivity.class);
spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("Second").setIndicator("Second")
.setContent(intent);
tabHost.addTab(spec);
Follow the link below to add activity to tabs.

Android opening specific tab (Sliding Tab) on user notification click

I have application , which is using google SlidingTabLayout.And each tab titles are different location names and it is database driven.In application i am using gcm push notifcations and before and notifiactions are about different locations, keeping the track of locationId with the help of Shared Preferences. And on opening the MainActivity from the notification , I need to go the specific location tab. Please help me
This is MainActivity code for declaring tabs
try {
SQLiteDatabase sqLiteDatabase;
sqLiteDatabase = fhiSqLiteDatabase.getReadableDatabase();
String readQuery = "SELECT * FROM " + DatabaseConstants.TableLocation.TABLE_NAME;
Cursor cursor = sqLiteDatabase.rawQuery(readQuery, null);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
Log.d("My Log", "Inside Cursor");
locationCount = 0;
do {
Log.d("My Log", "Inside Cursor, Inside do");
try {
String location = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(DatabaseConstants.TableLocation.COLUMN_LOCATION_NAME));
Log.d(Constants.LOG_TAG, " Location " + location);
Titles[locationCount] = location;
locationCount++;
Log.d(Constants.LOG_TAG, Titles[locationCount].toString());
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.d("My Log", e.toString());
}
Log.d("My Log", Titles[locationCount]);
}
while (cursor.moveToNext());
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.d("My Log", e.toString());
}
Numboftabs = locationCount;
// Creating The ViewPagerAdapter and Passing Fragment Manager, Titles fot the Tabs and Number Of Tabs.
adapter = new ViewPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager(), Titles, Numboftabs);
// Assigning ViewPager View and setting the adapter
pager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
pager.setAdapter(adapter);
// Assiging the Sliding Tab Layout View
tabs = (SlidingTabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tabs);
tabs.setDistributeEvenly(true); // To make the Tabs Fixed set this true, This makes the tabs Space Evenly in Available width
// Setting Custom Color for the Scroll bar indicator of the Tab View
tabs.setCustomTabColorizer(new SlidingTabLayout.TabColorizer() {
#Override
public int getIndicatorColor(int position) {
return getResources().getColor(R.color.tabsScrollColor);
}
});
// Setting the ViewPager For the SlidingTabsLayout
tabs.setViewPager(pager);
User Notificationis handled by a method sendNotification
private void sendNotification(int planId,String notification,int updateId)
{
if(updateId==0)
{
Cursor cursor=fhiSqLiteDatabase.getAllBatchPlanDetails(planId);
sharedPreferencesToday = getSharedPreferences(MyPREFERENCES, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
if (cursor != null && cursor.moveToFirst()) {
int locationId=cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex(DatabaseConstants.TableTourBatchPlan.COLUMN_LOCATION_ID));
Log.d(Constants.LOG_TAG, "Count Update item is for location Id : "+locationId);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPreferencesToday.edit();
editor.putInt(locationIdShared,locationId);
editor.commit();
}
Log.d(Constants.LOG_TAG," User Notification For Cont Update ");
Intent resultIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
resultIntent.putExtra("msg", notification);
TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(this);
// Adds the back stack
stackBuilder.addParentStack(MainActivity.class);
// Adds the Intent to the top of the stack
stackBuilder.addNextIntent(resultIntent);
// Gets a PendingIntent containing the entire back stack
PendingIntent resultPendingIntent =
stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(0, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
NotificationCompat.Builder mNotifyBuilder;
NotificationManager mNotificationManager;
mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
mNotifyBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setContentTitle("FHI")
.setContentText(notification)
.setNumber(++countNum)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.group_38_std)
.setTicker("FHI :New Count Update ")
;
// Set pending intent
mNotifyBuilder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);
// Set Vibrate, Sound and Light
int defaults = 0;
defaults = defaults | Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS;
defaults = defaults | Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE;
defaults = defaults | Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND;
mNotifyBuilder.setDefaults(defaults);
// Set the content for Notification
//mNotifyBuilder.setContentText(diff + " message: " + notification);
mNotifyBuilder.setContentText(notification);
// Set autoCancel
mNotifyBuilder.setAutoCancel(true);
// Post a notification
mNotificationManager.notify(notifyIdCount, mNotifyBuilder.build());
}
}
After this I changed the slidingTabLayout to get tab to get Selected on clicking on user notification , Changed methods are onAttachedToWindow()&private class TabClickListener implements OnClickListener

Android SlidingTabLayout - 1st Tab Always selected unless clicked

I've successfully implemented Google's SlidingTabLayout with custom icons. every icon has 2 versions, selected/unselected.
When my application starts, the first tab (out of 4) shows a selected state which is fine.
Thereafter, if I click on any of the remaining 3 tabs, 2/3/4 the new tab gets highlighted, however the first tab still continues to be in a selected state. However, once I click on the first tab and then navigate between any of the remaining tabs, my issue is resolved.
So, is there any way I can trigger the first tab to be clicked automatically when the activity is created?

Android Lollipop discontinued the ActionBar, how should I migrate my app that uses ActionBar and Tabs?

I'm developing an app before the news of Lollipop, then I'm using ActionBar, Tabs (view pager) and navigation drawer.
With the changes of the Lollipop that ActionBar does not exists anymore, what should I change in my app from now on?
Thanks!

You should use toolbar. You can create it like this and set it up as an actionbar:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="#2196F3"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
In your activity/fragment:
// Set a toolbar to replace the action bar.
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
If you want to have tabs as like you had with your actionbar:
Create 2 classes into your project.

Create an adapter. This is where you write which fragments you want to create.
public class ViewPagerAdapter extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter {
CharSequence Titles[]; // This will Store the Titles of the Tabs which are Going to be passed when ViewPagerAdapter is created
int NumbOfTabs; // Store the number of tabs, this will also be passed when the ViewPagerAdapter is created
// Build a Constructor and assign the passed Values to appropriate values in the class
public ViewPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm,CharSequence mTitles[], int mNumbOfTabsumb) {
super(fm);
this.Titles = mTitles;
this.NumbOfTabs = mNumbOfTabsumb;
}
//This method return the fragment for the every position in the View Pager
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
if(position == 0) // if the position is 0 we are returning the First tab
{
FirstFragment tab1 = new FirstFragment();
return tab1;
}
else if(position == 1) // As we are having 3 tabs if the position is now 0 it must be 1 so we are returning second tab
{
SecondFragment tab2 = new SecondFragment();
return tab2;
} else {
ThirdFragment tab3 = new ThirdFragment();
return tab3;
}
}
// This method return the titles for the Tabs in the Tab Strip
#Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
return Titles[position];
}
// This method return the Number of tabs for the tabs Strip
#Override
public int getCount() {
return NumbOfTabs;
}
}
Go to your layout where you want to have the tabs:
<YOURPACKAGENAME.SlidingTabLayout
android:id="#+id/tabs"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/toolbar"

android:layout_below="#+id/tabs"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
></android.support.v4.view.ViewPager>
Finally go to your fragment/activity and set everything up:
ViewPager pager;
ViewPagerAdapter adapter;
SlidingTabLayout tabs;
CharSequence Titles[]={"Tab 1","Tab 2","Tab 3"};
int Numboftabs =3;
// Creating The ViewPagerAdapter and Passing Fragment Manager, Titles fot the Tabs and Number Of Tabs.

// Assigning ViewPager View and setting the adapter

// Assiging the Sliding Tab Layout View
tabs = (SlidingTabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tabs);
tabs.setDistributeEvenly(true); // To make the Tabs Fixed set this true, This makes the tabs Space Evenly in Available width
// Set custom tab layout
tabs.setCustomTabView(R.layout.home_tab, 0);
// Setting the ViewPager For the SlidingTabsLayout

Android tabs textview hidden

I'm using the basic SlidingTabStrip and SlidingTabLayout to create material design tabs for my app.
My app initially had 5 tabs, one of which was partially hidden. On making it to 4 tabs, it tried to adjust the tabs in one view, and consequently split one of my tab's name and displayed it in two lines. On setting maxLines for the textview to 1, it shortened my tab name and displayed only half of it.

Here's my MainActivity:
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity{
private ViewPager viewPager;
private TabsPagerAdapter adapter;
//private Toolbar toolbar;
SlidingTabLayout tabs;
CharSequence titleArray[] = {"From/To", "Stops", "Favourites", "Near Me"};
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.viewpager);
adapter = new TabsPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager(),titleArray);
viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
tabs = (SlidingTabLayout) findViewById(R.id.sliding_tabs);
tabs.setDistributeEvenly(true);
tabs.setViewPager(viewPager);
}
}
I can't upload a picture though, it won't allow me to. There's a problem with the weights, since it's trying to fit all my tabs in a single page. Is there a way I could display the full name of my tab in any way, even if it exceeds the page width (remains scrollable though)?
Thank you.

Alright, solved it! The code was adding padding to left and right of tab text, which I set to 0 by the following code in createDefaultTabView(Context context) in SlidingTabLayout. It works perfectly!
int padding = (int) (TAB_VIEW_PADDING_DIPS*getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density);
textView.setPadding(0, padding, 0, padding );
