I've just decided to add swipe views on my android application. I searched for them on the web for tutorials but I found nothing but deprecated actionBar tutorials. Event in official Creating Swipe View from android developer is showing me that this is deprecated method for this purpose. So tell me guys - what's the best way to make a swipe tab view?
I think you can use the templates included with ADT.
Just create new "Android Application Project" and select "tabbed activity" during wizard flow, and select "Navigation Style" = "swipe views" on the last wizard screen.
You can either develop your application on base of code you received, or study it to understand how swipe and tabs are working together.
Action bar tab is now depreciated because of new toolbar facility . You can use now Sliding tab https://developer.android.com/samples/SlidingTabsBasic/src/com.example.android.common/view/SlidingTabLayout.html for creating swipe views using view pager
Use a Sliding tab Layout.
Get the Sliding Tab Layout & Sliding Tab Strip java file in the following link.
https://github.com/google/iosched/tree/master/android/src/main/java/com/google/samples/apps/iosched/ui/widget
Copy the 2 into your project and follow the follwing tutorial.
Note: Dont copy the one in the developers android website its not updated as far as I know

I am trying to make custom profile page , Tabbed layout is embed within ActionBar , and Tabs can change both with sliding and click on other tab.
I just started playing with ActionBar , and didn't understood what are major differences between Sherlock / simple ActionBar.
Here is what i am trying to make right now:
Any Help in any form appreciated , There is no similar Github lib or helper code at net/SO , so i can't figure out how i should get started
You will need to use a TabLayout along with a ViewPager. These are standard controls. Google it or see here for an example of how to use it. ActionBarSherlock isn't used anymore. Instead we use a Toolbar.
I need a navigation bar that doesn't slideIn above the current view (the usual overlapping stype), instead it should be as in new ebay app (as if scrolling the wallpaper in homescreen with more than one page). Is it possible to add this effect to material-design-navigation-view? How do I do it?
You can use Sliding Menu Library for your requirement. Here is the link to that library
Sliding Menu Library
And if you are using Android Studio then see this link to add it in your project
Importing in Android Studio
There is no default way to really do this. However, this thread of StackOverflow will help you: push activity on the right when open drawer
Another GitHub library that may suit your need is: Material Drawer. You can download the demo on Google Play Store (same name). A similar approach is the Persistent Header Drawer
How to implement android navigation drawer like this?
TopLevelView1 ~ TopLevelView4 can select and no children
TopVevelView5 can collaspe
My question is that if my group structure like this for example
All
Stared
Category
----mp3
----txt
----doc
----pdf
when I select all then show all file.
when I select stared then show stared file only.
when I select mp3 then show only mp3 files.
and Category can expand and collapse.
For navigation:
Alternative 1:
Sliding Menu, which I would definitely go with. Even used by popular application like LinkedIn and Foursquare and easy to implement and use. Full explanation and example source codes: SlidingMenu - GitHub
Alternative 2:
Android Navigation Drawer. If you want to fully customise everything yourself without using any libraries, this is your option. You can check codes and how to do it from Android Developers website: Creating a Navigation Drawer
View inside your navigation drawer / sliding menu:
Alternative 1:
Android default ExpandableListView. Links: Android Developers , androidhive
Alternative 2:
AnimatedExpandableListView, which is implemented from ExpandableListView, but when an item is clicked, the expand is done with a smooth animation which you may prefer to use for a better look. AnimatedExpandableListView
I want to put settings in left side of screen.
There will be switcher, listviews and textviews.
In result I need like this example:
Is it possible and how I can start with?
You can use Sliding Menu Library to give such effect...
You can get the code from here.
You can also refer this link.
It's possible, and you can implement it using the Navigation Drawer which comes with android support library.
You must check out the Ribbon Menu
1) What's the Purpose
Ease of Access: Allow easy access to a menu that slides in and out
Ease of Implementation: Update the same screen using minimal amount of code
Independency: Does not require support libraries such as ActionBarSherlock
Customization: Easy to change colors and menus
2)What's New
Changed the sliding animation to match Facebook and Google+ apps
Added standard ActionBar (you can chose to use ActionBarSherlock)
Used menuitem to open the Menu
Added ability to update ListView on main Activity
Added 2 ListViews to the Menu, similiar to Facebook and Google+ apps
Added a AutoCompleteTextView and a Button as well to show examples of implemenation
Added method to allow users to hit the 'back button' to hide the menu when it is open
Allows users to interact with background(main ListView) and the menu at the same time unlike the Facebook and Google+ apps!
OR
You can also try out with Sliding Menu
You have to add one library file slider.jar into your project and follow this example for the same :

What is complete replacement of iOS Tabs Replacement in Android.
I Know that Android is Android and we don't Imitate other platforms on Android. I have Studied Pure Android
But All I want to have the replacment of iOS tabs in Android with following features.
1.) Stores Navigation flow for each tab, As in iOS there is navigation controller for each tab and we can have the previous state for each tab while switching from tab to tab.
2.) Desirable but not necessary- Double click on tab button will refresh the view with the root view as per in iOS.
3.) The animation while switching from tab to tab or with in Tab does not swipe the complete Tabs(including the TAB Bar). It means only the content of each Tab should be replaceable with separate Activity or something like this.
4.) In short User Experience must be similar to iOS Tab Bar.
What I have Tried so far.
1.) Added Tabs with TabHost on bottom of screen.But I Haven't got the stack navigation for each Tab separately.
(Something like: https://github.com/AdilSoomro/Iphone-Tab-in-Android)
2.) Also I have an idea of Using Stack (Java Collection Framework.) But that will be a headache to maintain all the stack by my self.
So, Guys In short:
Do you have any ideas of any Third Party Library, that I can use in my project without much problem to achieve all the features mentioned above?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
This one is best to implement iOS like tabs in Android
Like this:
You can use the native tabs and style it to seem like iOS ones.
Use Fragments, and store/reload the "Natigation flow" at the onPause/onRestore methods in each Fragment or in the FragmentActivity when you change form one fragment to an other.
BTW, please don't do that. If you studied Pure Android, what's the point do you want to achieve? Android is Android and iOS is iOS, do not mix them please.
UPDATE: 3 September 2017
An other, and imho better, approach to do so is make use of the Bottom Navigation. Take a look to materialdocs to learn how to use it.
