Android: Swipe Views without additional support library

Question

I have no interest in backward support for < 4.0 devices. And also, I would like to get rid of support libraries to make package as small as possible.

Is it possible to create similar effect only using 4.0+ native fragments?

Answer 1

ViewPager is not tied to any fragments. You are welcome to use ViewPager with:

• the fragment backport, or
• native API Level 11+ fragments, or
• no fragments at all, using Views for the pages

You are also welcome to copy the source code to ViewPager and PagerAdapter into your project. If you would like to use FragmentPagerAdapter or FragmentStatePagerAdapter with native API Level 11+ fragments, you can copy the source code to the v13 editions of those classes into your project as well.
