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:

This is in a lot of apps, where there is header content a view pager and then the pager content. The header content can scroll off the top then the pager content docks and continues to be able to scroll. I've tried a couple ways of doing this, I had the most success with using NestedScrollView, but I was never able to get fling and a few other use cases working right. As far as I can tell the apps that do this all spin their own solution.
I'm looking for suggestions on how to go about building this type of ui. Below is Google+ which uses this ui.
This is not exactly an answer (the question itself is quite open-ended) but I found cheesesquare implementation by Chris Banes (he's from the android team i think) very helpful with what you're asking.

What dejavu86 has said. The app in question is a demo of Design Support Library which has the UI widget, CollapsingToolbarLayout, which you are asking about.

I tried many times to create a layout that contain multiple layouts and switch between these layouts by sliding left or right like on WhatsApp or Facebook apps.
I have used some LinearLayout, TableLayout and ScrollView but I didn't found the way to achieve it.
Do you have any solution please ?
What do you want to do is a Material Design Sliding Tabs ? I implemented that functionality in my app following this guide
You probably want to use Androids ViewPager and set up your views as fragments, it has built in swipe gestures to transition through pages so should cover what you need.
Check out this example, it's also got a sample app you can download and test out:

I'm looking for a a tutorial or a start for creating swipeable intros like this image for introducing and helping users in using the app, I know it is based on android swipeable views but all the links I found had tabs, and since these kinds of intros are very popular I though maybe there is a better and more forward way to do it.
Thanks very much
Try to use : Android-ViewPagerIndicator lib(https://github.com/JakeWharton/Android-ViewPagerIndicator)
You need to use a ViewPager and a library called ViewPagerIndicator for the small circle at the bottom.
I'm looking to try and implement this style pattern into my application:
http://www.androidpatterns.com/uap_pattern/carousel
But I am having trouble in finding an existing library or solution to it. Does anybody know of any libraries that I could use or how I would go about implementing this?
So far, Ive found this:
http://www.inter-fuser.com/2010/02/android-coverflow-widget-v2.html
but it isn't quite what I want as it would be nice if it was hosted inside of a ViewPager so I can have buttons etc inside the view.
You might try twoway-view, an implementation of an AdapterView (similar to ListView/GridView) that supports horizontal scrolling.
In this case, you'd use it more like a ListView rather than a ViewPager, so each element would be a separate item layout, rather than Fragment.
One example of where twoway-view is in use right now is the latest Firefox for Android nightly as discussed on the announcement post, which contains some screenshots of it in use:
I'm developing an application for android that is supposed to have three tabs that shows three different listviews. It should look pretty much like this video example:
http://www.androidhive.info/2012/05/android-combining-tab-layout-and-list-view/
The problem i have is that TabActivity is deprecated and i can't found any good tutorials for the Fragment view (which I think is the one to replace TabView). Anyone know how to combine these two views?
You might want to look into ActionBar and Fragments. Maybe the following link could help you out? http://www.lucazanini.eu/2012/android/tab-layout-in-android-with-actionbar-and-fragment/?lang=en
