How to implement RecyclerView with CardView rows in a Fragment with TabLayout
I would like to implement a ListFragment in an Activity that uses a TabLayout, so that I can swipe between the different lists. In the end it should become a booking application so that you can choose between different disciplines and book a certain time slot withing it. However so far I only achieve to do either a ListActivity OR the tabbed activity (the standard one from android studio) but not both. Would be glad if someone could help on this. The tabbed activity:
public class Diciplines extends AppCompatActivity {
/**
* The {@link android.support.v4.view.PagerAdapter} that will provide
* fragments for each of the sections. We use a
* {@link FragmentPagerAdapter} derivative, which will keep every
* loaded fragment in memory. If this becomes too memory intensive, it
* may be best to switch to a
* {@link android.support.v4.app.FragmentStatePagerAdapter}.
*/
private SectionsPagerAdapter mSectionsPagerAdapter;
/**
* The {@link ViewPager} that will host the section contents.
*/
private ViewPager mViewPager;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_diciplines);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
// Create the adapter that will return a fragment for each of the three
// primary sections of the activity.
mSectionsPagerAdapter = new SectionsPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
// Set up the ViewPager with the sections adapter.
mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.container);
mViewPager.setAdapter(mSectionsPagerAdapter);
FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);
fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Snackbar.make(view, "Replace with your own action", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
.setAction("Action", null).show();
}
});
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_diciplines, menu);
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
//noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
/**
* A {@link FragmentPagerAdapter} that returns a fragment corresponding to
* one of the sections/tabs/pages.
*/
public class SectionsPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
public SectionsPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
}
@Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
// getItem is called to instantiate the fragment for the given page.
// Return a PlaceholderFragment (defined as a static inner class below).
return PlaceholderFragment.newInstance(position + 1);
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
// Show 3 total pages.
return 3;
}
@Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
switch (position) {
case 0:
return "SECTION 1";
case 1:
return "SECTION 2";
case 2:
return "SECTION 3";
}
return null;
}
}
/**
* A placeholder fragment containing a simple view.
*/
public static class PlaceholderFragment extends Fragment {
/**
* The fragment argument representing the section number for this
* fragment.
*/
private static final String ARG_SECTION_NUMBER = "section_number";
/**
* Returns a new instance of this fragment for the given section
* number.
*/
public static PlaceholderFragment newInstance(int sectionNumber) {
PlaceholderFragment fragment = new PlaceholderFragment();
Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putInt(ARG_SECTION_NUMBER, sectionNumber);
fragment.setArguments(args);
return fragment;
}
public PlaceholderFragment() {
}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_diciplines, container, false);
TextView textView = (TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.section_label);
textView.setText(getString(R.string.section_format, getArguments().getInt(ARG_SECTION_NUMBER)));
return rootView;
}
}
}
And I would like to include the listview like this into the upper tabbed activity:
public class DailyCalendar extends ListActivity {
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
String[] values = new String[] { "9am" ,"10am" ,"11am", "12pm",
"1pm" , "2pm", "3pm", "4pm" , "5pm", "6pm", "7pm", "8pm", "9pm"};
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, values);
setListAdapter(adapter);
}
@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView listView, View view, int position, long id) {
String item = (String) getListAdapter().getItem(position);
Toast.makeText(this, item + " selected", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
Thanks for help!

Here is a simple example using a TabLayout and a RecyclerView with a CardView in each row.
First, MainActivity, which sets up the ViewPager and TabLayout:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
// Get the ViewPager and set it's PagerAdapter so that it can display items
ViewPager viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.viewpager);
PagerAdapter pagerAdapter =
new PagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager(), MainActivity.this);
viewPager.setAdapter(pagerAdapter);
// Give the TabLayout the ViewPager
TabLayout tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tab_layout);
tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(viewPager);
// Iterate over all tabs and set the custom view
for (int i = 0; i < tabLayout.getTabCount(); i++) {
TabLayout.Tab tab = tabLayout.getTabAt(i);
tab.setCustomView(pagerAdapter.getTabView(i));
}
}
@Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
class PagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
String tabTitles[] = new String[] { "Tab One", "Tab Two", "Tab Three" };
Context context;
public PagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm, Context context) {
super(fm);
this.context = context;
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
return tabTitles.length;
}
@Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
switch (position) {
case 0:
return new BlankFragment();
case 1:
return new BlankFragment();
case 2:
return new BlankFragment();
}
return null;
}
@Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
// Generate title based on item position
return tabTitles[position];
}
public View getTabView(int position) {
View tab = LayoutInflater.from(MainActivity.this).inflate(R.layout.custom_tab, null);
TextView tv = (TextView) tab.findViewById(R.id.custom_text);
tv.setText(tabTitles[position]);
return tab;
}
}
}
activity_main.xml:
<RelativeLayout
android:id="@+id/main_layout"

custom_tab.xml for each Tab in the TabLayout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_height="match_parent">

android:background="?attr/selectableItemBackground"
android:gravity="center"
android:textSize="16dip"
android:textColor="#ffffff"
android:singleLine="true"
/>
</LinearLayout>
Here is the BlankFragment class, which uses a RecyclerView to show a list:
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v7.widget.LinearLayoutManager;
import android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;;
public class BlankFragment extends Fragment {
public BlankFragment() {
// Required empty public constructor
}
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_blank, container, false);
RecyclerView rv = (RecyclerView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.rv_recycler_view);
rv.setHasFixedSize(true);
MyAdapter adapter = new MyAdapter(new String[]{"test one", "test two", "test three", "test four", "test five" , "test six" , "test seven"});
rv.setAdapter(adapter);
LinearLayoutManager llm = new LinearLayoutManager(getActivity());
rv.setLayoutManager(llm);
return rootView;
}
}
fragment_blank.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">

android:id="@+id/rv_recycler_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
</android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView>
</RelativeLayout>
card_item.xml for the RecyclerView list:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="68dp" >

android:layout_toEndOf="@+id/iv_image">
</TextView>
</RelativeLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
</RelativeLayout>
MyAdapter class for the RecyclerView, this is very basic and just sets the text in one of the TextViews:
import android.support.v7.widget.CardView;
import android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MyAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MyAdapter.MyViewHolder> {
private String[] mDataset;
// Provide a reference to the views for each data item
// Complex data items may need more than one view per item, and
// you provide access to all the views for a data item in a view holder
public static class MyViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
public CardView mCardView;
public TextView mTextView;
public MyViewHolder(View v) {
super(v);
mCardView = (CardView) v.findViewById(R.id.card_view);
mTextView = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.tv_text);
}
}
// Provide a suitable constructor (depends on the kind of dataset)
public MyAdapter(String[] myDataset) {
mDataset = myDataset;
}
// Create new views (invoked by the layout manager)
@Override
public MyAdapter.MyViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent,
int viewType) {
// create a new view
View v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())
.inflate(R.layout.card_item, parent, false);
// set the view's size, margins, paddings and layout parameters
MyViewHolder vh = new MyViewHolder(v);
return vh;
}
@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(MyViewHolder holder, final int position) {
holder.mTextView.setText(mDataset[position]);
holder.mCardView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
String currentValue = mDataset[position];
Log.d("CardView", "CardView Clicked: " + currentValue);
}
});
}
@Override
public int getItemCount() {
return mDataset.length;
}
}
Gradle dependencies used:
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.1'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.0.1'
