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:

Sliding tabs like the ones in Google Play.

I would like the tab indicator to first expand and then contract when sliding from one side to the other, like in the image, any ideas? Thank you very much
Check out this question, it may be useful Smooth animation between tabs when using selector - Android.
Also, there are some libraries that may help you:
Android tab animation
SmartTabLayout
Dachshund Tab Layout
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'd like to implement a navigation with two layers of tabs, similar to this one:
However I cannot find how to give scrollable tabs this appearance: centered title for the active tab, and the others pushed to the sides, without separator or underlining. I'm pretty sure I've seen this scrollable tabs style before, so I was wondering if it's just a setting or maybe a third party library.
Could anyone help me with this ?
Thank you.
Have a look at ViewPager's PagerTitleStrip. That's what you are looking for.
I have seen a couple of application having a TabBar like the following here. I am talking about the widget the bottom left hand corner of the image. You can drag the circular disc and change the tab. Also an Image POP ups about the current TAB. I have tried searching about but so far no luck.
Kind Regards
This is something that HTC developed for their own usage.
it is not available openly to developers sorry.
If you want something like this you will need to develop it on your own.
You can achieve this by using a TabHost widget with TabWidget placed in a horizontal scroll view and then on tab click show some kind of custom fullscreen Toast message with the description and the image. also customize the TabWidget, you can definitely find info on the Tabhost and customizing the tabwidget either here on stackoverflow or some tutorials on google.
In any case you definitely need to do this from scratch, but its certainly possible.
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:
