      Screen slides are transitions between one entire screen to another and are common with UIs
      like setup wizards or slideshows. This lesson shows you how to do screen slides with
      a {@link android.support.v4.view.ViewPager} provided by the <a href=
      "{@docRoot}tools/support-library/index.html">support library</a>.
      {@link android.support.v4.view.ViewPager}s can animate screen slides
      automatically. Here's what a screen slide looks like that transitions from
      one screen of content to the next:
    </p>

    <div class="framed-galaxynexus-land-span-8">

    </div>

<p>If you want to jump ahead and see a full working example,
<a href="{@docRoot}shareables/training/Animations.zip">download</a>
and run the sample app and select the Screen Slide example. See the
following files for the code implementation:</p>
<ul>
  <li><code>src/ScreenSlidePageFragment.java</code></li>
  <li><code>src/ScreenSlideActivity.java</code></li>
  <li><code>layout/activity_screen_slide.xml</code></li>
  <li><code>layout/fragment_screen_slide_page.xml</code></li>
</ul>

<h2 id="views">Create the Views</h2>
  <p>Create a layout file that you'll later use for the content of a fragment. The following example
    contains a text view to display some text:

<pre>
&lt;com.example.android.animationsdemo.ScrollView
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/content"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"&gt;

        &lt;TextView style="?android:textAppearanceMedium"
            android:padding="16dp"
            android:lineSpacingMultiplier="1.2"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="@string/lorem_ipsum" /&gt;

&lt;/com.example.android.animationsdemo.ScrollView&gt;
</pre>

<h2 id="fragment">Create the Fragment</h2>
<p>Create a {@link android.support.v4.app.Fragment} class that returns the layout
that you just created in the {@link android.app.Fragment#onCreateView onCreateView()}
  method. You can then create instances of this fragment in the parent activity whenever you need a new page to
  display to the user:</p>


<pre>
public class ScreenSlidePageFragment extends Fragment {

    &#64;Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        ViewGroup rootView = (ViewGroup) inflater.inflate(
                R.layout.fragment_screen_slide_page, container, false);

        return rootView;
    }
}
</pre>

<h2 id="viewpager">Add a ViewPager</h2>

<p>{@link android.support.v4.view.ViewPager}s have built-in swipe gestures to transition
  through pages, and they display screen slide animations by default, so you don't need to create any. {@link android.support.v4.view.ViewPager}s use
{@link android.support.v4.view.PagerAdapter}s as a supply for new pages to display, so the {@link android.support.v4.view.PagerAdapter} will use the
fragment class that you created earlier.
  </p>

<p>To begin, create a layout that contains a {@link android.support.v4.view.ViewPager}:</p>

<pre>
&lt;android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/pager"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" /&gt;
</pre>

<p>Create an activity that does the following things:
</p>

<ul>
  <li>Sets the content view to be the layout with the {@link android.support.v4.view.ViewPager}.</li>
  <li>Creates a class that extends the {@link android.support.v13.app.FragmentStatePagerAdapter} abstract class and implements
  the {@link android.support.v4.app.FragmentStatePagerAdapter#getItem getItem()} method to supply
    instances of <code>ScreenSlidePageFragment</code> as new pages. The pager adapter also requires that you implement the
    {@link android.support.v4.view.PagerAdapter#getCount getCount()} method, which returns the amount of pages the adapter will create (five in the example).
  <li>Hooks up the {@link android.support.v4.view.PagerAdapter} to the {@link android.support.v4.view.ViewPager}</code>.</li>
  <li>Handles the device's back button by moving backwards in the virtual stack of fragments.
    If the user is already on the first page, go back on the activity back stack.</li>
</ul>

<pre>
public class ScreenSlidePagerActivity extends FragmentActivity {
    /**
     * The number of pages (wizard steps) to show in this demo.
     */
    private static final int NUM_PAGES = 5;

    /**
     * The pager widget, which handles animation and allows swiping horizontally to access previous
     * and next wizard steps.
     */
    private ViewPager mPager;

    /**
     * The pager adapter, which provides the pages to the view pager widget.
     */
    private PagerAdapter mPagerAdapter;

    &#64;Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_screen_slide_pager);

        // Instantiate a ViewPager and a PagerAdapter.
        mPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
        mPagerAdapter = new ScreenSlidePagerAdapter(getFragmentManager());
        mPager.setAdapter(mPagerAdapter);
    }

    &#64;Override
    public void onBackPressed() {
        if (mPager.getCurrentItem() == 0) {
            // If the user is currently looking at the first step, allow the system to handle the
            // Back button. This calls finish() on this activity and pops the back stack.
            super.onBackPressed();
        } else {
            // Otherwise, select the previous step.
            mPager.setCurrentItem(mPager.getCurrentItem() - 1);
        }
    }

    /**
     * A simple pager adapter that represents 5 ScreenSlidePageFragment objects, in
     * sequence.
     */
    private class ScreenSlidePagerAdapter extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter {
        public ScreenSlidePagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
            super(fm);
        }

        &#64;Override
        public Fragment getItem(int position) {
            return new ScreenSlidePageFragment();
        }

        &#64;Override
        public int getCount() {
            return NUM_PAGES;
        }
    }
}
</pre>


<h2 id="pagetransformer">Customize the Animation with PageTransformer</h2>

<p>To display a different animation from the default screen slide animation, implement the
  {@link android.support.v4.view.ViewPager.PageTransformer} interface and supply it to
  the view pager. The interface exposes a single method, {@link android.support.v4.view.ViewPager.PageTransformer#transformPage transformPage()}. At each point in the screen's transition, this method is called once for each visible page (generally there's only one visible page) and for adjacent pages just off the screen.
  For example, if page three is visible and the user drags towards page four,
  {@link android.support.v4.view.ViewPager.PageTransformer#transformPage transformPage()} is called
  for pages two, three, and four at each step of the gesture.</p>

  <p>
  In your implementation of {@link android.support.v4.view.ViewPager.PageTransformer#transformPage transformPage()},
  you can then create custom slide animations by determining which pages need to be transformed based on the
  position of the page on the screen, which is obtained from the <code>position</code> parameter
  of the {@link android.support.v4.view.ViewPager.PageTransformer#transformPage transformPage()} method.</p>

<p>The <code>position</code> parameter indicates where a given page is located relative to the center of the screen.
It is a dynamic property that changes as the user scrolls through the pages. When a page fills the screen, its position value is <code>0</code>.
When a page is drawn just off the right side of the screen, its position value is <code>1</code>. If the user scrolls halfway between pages one and two, page one has a position of -0.5 and page two has a position of 0.5. Based on the position of the pages on the screen, you can create custom slide animations by setting page properties with methods such as {@link android.view.View#setAlpha setAlpha()}, {@link android.view.View#setTranslationX setTranslationX()}, or
  {@link android.view.View#setScaleY setScaleY()}.</p>


<p>When you have an implementation of a {@link android.support.v4.view.ViewPager.PageTransformer PageTransformer},
call {@link android.support.v4.view.ViewPager#setPageTransformer setPageTransformer()} with
  your implementation to apply your custom animations. For example, if you have a
  {@link android.support.v4.view.ViewPager.PageTransformer PageTransformer} named
  <code>ZoomOutPageTransformer</code>, you can set your custom animations
  like this:</p>
<pre>
ViewPager pager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
...
pager.setPageTransformer(true, new ZoomOutPageTransformer());
</pre>


<p>See the <a href="#zoom-out">Zoom-out page transformer</a> and <a href="#depth-page">Depth page transformer</a>
sections for examples and videos of a {@link android.support.v4.view.ViewPager.PageTransformer PageTransformer}.</p>


<h3 id="zoom-out">Zoom-out page transformer</h3>
<p>
 This page transformer shrinks and fades pages when scrolling between
 adjacent pages. As a page gets closer to the center, it grows back to
 its normal size and fades in.

    private static float MIN_SCALE = 0.85f;
    private static float MIN_ALPHA = 0.5f;

    public void transformPage(View view, float position) {
        int pageWidth = view.getWidth();

            if (position &lt; 0) {
                view.setTranslationX(horzMargin - vertMargin / 2);
            } else {
                view.setTranslationX(-horzMargin + vertMargin / 2);
            }

            // Scale the page down (between MIN_SCALE and 1)
            view.setScaleX(scaleFactor);
            view.setScaleY(scaleFactor);

            // Fade the page relative to its size.
            view.setAlpha(MIN_ALPHA +
                    (scaleFactor - MIN_SCALE) /
                    (1 - MIN_SCALE) * (1 - MIN_ALPHA));

            // This page is way off-screen to the right.
            view.setAlpha(0);
        }
    }
}
</pre>

<h3 id="depth-page">Depth page transformer</h3>
<p>
This page transformer uses the default slide animation for sliding pages
to the left, while using a "depth" animation for sliding pages to the
right. This depth animation fades the page out, and scales it down linearly.
</p>

<div class="framed-galaxynexus-land-span-8">
  <video class="play-on-hover" autoplay>
    <source src="anim_page_transformer_depth.mp4" type="video/mp4">
    <source src="anim_page_transformer_depth.webm" type="video/webm">

  </video>
</div>

<div class="figure-caption">
  <code>DepthPageTransformer</code> example
  <div class="video-instructions">&nbsp;</div>
</div>

<p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> During the depth animation, the default animation (a screen slide) still
takes place, so you must counteract the screen slide with a negative X translation.

For example:

<pre>
view.setTranslationX(-1 * view.getWidth() * position);
</pre>

The following example shows how to counteract the default screen slide animation
in a working page transformer:
</p>

<pre>

public class DepthPageTransformer implements ViewPager.PageTransformer {
    private static float MIN_SCALE = 0.75f;

    public void transformPage(View view, float position) {
        int pageWidth = view.getWidth();

        if (position &lt; -1) { // [-Infinity,-1)
            // This page is way off-screen to the left.
            view.setAlpha(0);

        } else if (position &lt;= 0) { // [-1,0]
            // Use the default slide transition when moving to the left page
            view.setAlpha(1);
            view.setTranslationX(0);
            view.setScaleX(1);
            view.setScaleY(1);

        } else if (position &lt;= 1) { // (0,1]
            // Fade the page out.
            view.setAlpha(1 - position);

            // Counteract the default slide transition
            view.setTranslationX(pageWidth * -position);

            // Scale the page down (between MIN_SCALE and 1)
            float scaleFactor = MIN_SCALE
                    + (1 - MIN_SCALE) * (1 - Math.abs(position));
            view.setScaleX(scaleFactor);
            view.setScaleY(scaleFactor);

        } else { // (1,+Infinity]
            // This page is way off-screen to the right.
            view.setAlpha(0);
        }
    }
}
</pre>
