When should we use pagerTabStrip and when should we go for pagerTitleStrip???

What does the word interactive indicator and non-interactive indicator mean actually? Can you please explain me the difference and also can you please tell me if there is any difference in the UI?

PagerTitleStrip is just a strip which contain title texts; it just indicates the title of the section we're in.

PagerTabStrip is very similar to PagerTitleStrip but actually looks like a strip of tabs (it's used in the Play store tabs, and looks better in my opinion).

You can use PagerTabStrip if you are looking for a tab-like interface. If you are looking to customize PagerTitleStrip, you may want to see ViewPagerIndicator.
