ViewPager

android.support.v4.view.ViewPager is Layout manager that allows the user to flip left and right through pages of data.

Note this class is currently under early design and development. The API will likely change in later updates of the compatibility library, requiring changes to the source code of apps when they are compiled against the newer version.

To use compatibility library, Android Support Package is needed. Refer to last post to "Add Android Support Package".

Create three Fragments, each one corresponding to one tab. Please note that the Fragment(s) extends android.support.v4.app.Fragment. 

MyFragmentA.java

package com.exercise.AndroidViewPager;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;

public class MyFragmentA extends Fragment {

 @Override
 public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
   Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  View myFragmentView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_a, container, false);
  return myFragmentView;
 }

}

!!! It's a bug here: when change orientation, NullPointerException will be thrown. Please refer to next post "NullPointerException of ViewPager when change orientation" for my solution.
