pageradapter class:

public class pageradapter extends PagerAdapter {
    Context mContext;
    LayoutInflater mLayoutInflater;
    List<String> l = MainActivity.list;
    ImageLoader mImageLoader;

    public pageradapter(Context context) {
        mContext = context;

        mLayoutInflater = LayoutInflater.from(mContext.getApplicationContext());

    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return 4;
    }


    @Override

        View view = mLayoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.createnew, container);

        //   ImageView imageView = (ImageView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.imageView3);
        //  mImageLoader.displayImage("http://www.airtel.in/4g/images/airtel_4g_hotspot_responsive.jpg", imageView);

        container.addView(view);

        return view;

        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" />
</LinearLayout>

Answer 1

Your instantiateItem() returns the container view of the ViewPager instead of the item to go inside the container.

This is a particular nastiness of inflate(), that has probably bitten many before: If you call inflate(R.layout.createnew, container), it returns the container view:

Returns

The root View of the inflated hierarchy. If root was supplied, this is the root View; otherwise it is the root of the inflated XML file.

(emphasis partially mine)

You don't get access to the actual root of the inflated hierarchy, only to the container with the new child view already attached.

In this case, addView() would actually be redundant, because the new View is already in the container. In your code, however, it adds the container to itself. Android does not check for loops in the view hierarchy, but you get an infinite traversal loop at some point (causing the StackOverflowError).

Since instanceItem() needs to return the (child) view, this is a little bit of a problem:

Returns an Object representing the new page. This does not need to be a View, but can be some other container of the page.

To prevent the new view to be added to the container, change the call to

View view = inflate(R.layout.createnew, container, false);

and leave the call to addView() as is. It is now necessary, since the adapter is required to add the view to the container:

The adapter is responsible for adding the view to the container given here, [...]
