Swipe back and forth between a number of DialogFragments
I've been trying to write code which will allow me to swipe back and forth between 3 DialogFragment views which overlay the main Activity.
To be more specific, each view should be swipeable from left to right and vice versa across the entire UI, in much the same way as fragments are in a ViewPager (with limits set at the bounds like so | 1 <--> 2 <--> 3 |) . Like fragments in ViewPager, each DialogFragment should come to rest in a natural position at the centre of the screen after swiping, and the transition animation should be similar.
Ideally, the layout and functionality would be similar to the respective defaults of a DialogFragment overlaying an activity.
Initially, I attempted this with a ViewPager but ran into trouble as the fragments didn't display with the intended layout. The main problem I had here was that the ViewPager stretched the layout of the DialogFragment across the entire UI. Furthermore, the only option I found for resizing the layout of the fragment was to limit the boundaries of the ViewPager, but of course this meant that the transitions occurred in an area smaller than the UI rather than across the entire UI. Mike's provided a brief explanation why this happens in the comments below.
I've also attempted a different approach of creating a child DialogFragment within blank ViewPager fragments. However, so far I've been unsuccessful as the ViewPager functionalilty isn't operational while the child DialogFragment is visible.
In the case of a 'work around' solution things that I want to mimic from the DialogFragment view include:
- The shadowed / darkened background outside of the DialogFragment view.
- The ability to tap outside of DialogFragment view to close the DialogFragment view (and by extension the ViewPager) and return to the main activity.

ViewPagerwon't work withDialogFragments.ViewPagerworks by manipulating childViews attached directly to it. In aDialogFragment, theViewis in aDialog, in a completely separate window.

I've got a much better implementation now. Don't use that shaky code I linked you before. I'll get you an example here in a little while. Hope you didn't spend too much time on that.

Hey, sorry, your comments got lost in my flooded inbox. I don't really know of any particular resources to recommend, other than the official documentation and samples, and here, of course. I just picked it up from various places as I went. I'm not one for any kind of structured learning, these days. Anyhoo, I'm putting the finishing touches on my new example right now. Hopefully have it ready in about an hour.

OK, give this a whirl: drive.google.com/file/d/1aea7tZ9mt9wUxHg_O8QkdVl2jGON7KYh/…. I'm pretty happy with it. Gimme a shout if you have any issues getting it working.

Oh, yeah, no, it's just that particulargetSystemService()overload that's 23+. You can usewinManager = (WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);instead. And just remove theLayoutInflater. It was left over from earlier testing.
