I went through the Android Developers class for Fragments, and I really like their explanation and implementation. However, rather than having a list on the left-hand side of the screen that displays content on the right-hand fragment when interacted with, I'd like to show a selection of tabs at the top of the screen.
Is there any sort of equivalent to the ListFragment class for tabs, or a way I can use the Android Developer implementation but to create a group of tabs in the ViewGroup?
Thanks!

Not really, as tabs are not usually implemented as a fragment.

For tabs, you can:
use the action bar, or
use PagerTabStrip with a ViewPager, or
use the tab flavor of ViewPagerIndicator with a ViewPager, or
go retro and use TabHost and TabWidget, or
roll something yourself

I've implemented nested tabs with view pager with no problems, but my problem is on the swiping part,
When I do the swiping action the main activity tabs will be switched, but I want the fragment to swipe instead. how can I achieve this?
I've tried implement main tab with tab host and fragment tabhost which doesn't have swiping feature at all, but that disabled whole swipe on the main and fragment together.
Instead of custom library you can try to use Bottom navigation view for bottom bar which has been added to version 25 of the Design Support Library. Here is an Article about it.
So android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationViewin your activity together with android.support.design.widget.TabLayout and ViewPagerin fragment should work the way you want it to work. And this will also provide good UX (similar to one implemented in Google Plus App)
hello shaheen zahedi maybe it's possible please..with..below
just set bottom tab changed listener
like..
btnTab.setTabChangeListener(null);
You can disable view pager swiping on a particular ViewPager.
But I would suggest to not make 2 ViewPagers on the same screen.
Your bottom TabLayout and corresponding ViewPager can be replaced with BottomBar library.
I feel like it is wise to follow the Google Material guidelines. Not sure if you checked it out already...
Either way, here is what Google considers best practice for lateral navigation between tabs. Hope it helps!
I made a sample project with nested tab and fragment. may be it might help what is you looking for.

I have implemented an ActionBar with 3 tabs in an android app. I also used ViewPager to switch between different tabs. Every tab is defined in a fragment.
The last tab is called "Setting". I have two different settings. One is "Simple" setting, and the other one is "Advanced" setting. How can I implement these two different settings in the "Setting" tab. Should I make kind of sub-fragments or two new tabs inside the main tab which is "Setting" tab? Can I also for example create two buttons at the top, and switch between them? Or any better idea? Which solution is easier and more efficient. I'm a newbie in Android.
I want to make something like this:
Hope this help
Take SettingFragment as Host fragment
Place both buttons on top and ViewPager below buttons
Take SimpleFragment and AdvanceFragment as items in ViewPager
I'm currently designing the following 2 pane layout and I'm wondering on how to implement it.
Link to Wireframe
So far, I made a two pane activity. On the left is a custom ListView fragment. On the right is a detailpane. The detail pane is what I'm having trouble implementing. I don't know how to create a tab view that doesn't use the actionbar and I'm curious if the best way is to use a ton of fragments for the detailpane or just add change the data dynaically.
[The reason I don't want to use the action bar is that I'm using it for my Help/Refill buttons]
So what tools/tutorials/advice can anyone recommend in implementing this?
Additional information:
Categories or the Tabs will be based on a JSON array.
The listview inside the tabs will be filled with items from a JSON array.
Let me know if you need any more information.
I am currently using a FragmentTabHost and it's just perfect!
You can have your ListFragment and a simple Fragment with your details.
And use your FragmentActivity to communicate with them.
You just need to override the onAttach method of your activity which is called when a Fragment is displayed.
I would like to achieve a navigation in my app like Pinterest or Trello, that is, kind of three tabs to navigation + horizontal scrolling.
I have made a custom tabbar for this (since I couldn't guess how to change tabs width in my actionbar with navigation TAB mode). So I have three buttons to navigate from one fragment to another. Now I would like to implement the horizontal scrolling like these two examples, to also navigate among my fragments.
I have read about View Pager but I don't know if it fits to my case, since I don't have only views but fragments. Does anybody have an example or an idea of how to do it? Could I apply it among different activities?
Thanks
Please take a look at the duplicate question that I just answered:
How to implement a swipe-gesture between Fragments?
I suppose the Android ViewPager is what you are looking for:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/view/ViewPager.html
Here is a nice tutorial on how to implement it:
http://developer.android.com/training/animation/screen-slide.html
The basic idea is that you have multiple Fragments, each representing
a different Screen. The ViewPager enables the user to swipe between
the different Fragments and display different content.
You can use ViewPager. More information about viewpager this.
I'm currently developing an application that has a tab bar, and 3
different views: the first is a master-detail, the second one a
gallery, the third is a simple webview.
I was using the TabActivity, but since Android 3.0, this class is
deprecated and Android reference
suggests to use Fragments.
I switched then to an ActionBar, with Tabs and Action
Items. Inseide the first tab item I have a layout with 2 fragments (my
master-detail view). When I switch through tabs I want that my layout
change as I described above, so I thought to hide the left fragment
(the master listview) and work only in the detail fragment.. but with
this solution I have only one main activity with a lot of fragments
attached to it, and for each fragment displayed I need to modify the
Action Item shown and handle different actions in
OnOptionItemSelected.
Is this a good way to implement this kind of
application or should I consider different solutions?
You should have a single fragment container where the fragments are replaced depending on the tab selected.
One activity and multiple fragments is the right approach.
