Create simple infinite carousel in Android with ViewPager

At first I thought it's easy, someone must have implemented it already, but after searching for it on Google, I got no luck, nobody has done and shared it on the Net, so I decided to make it myself.

I read some posts like:

• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11647021/how-to-create-create-a-carousel-pattern

• http://www.androidpatterns.com/uap_pattern/carousel

So I implemented it as you can see in below video:

 

The main idea is:

• Use ViewPager as the main view with pages are Fragment, then use ViewPager.setPageMargin(int) to set margin as a negative number, so the next and previous pages of the selected page will be showed up.
• Override the layout which is the root view of Fragments to create scale animation.
• Make a little hack in FragmentPagerAdapter so we can fling infinitely to both directions of the ViewPager.

For more information, you guys can get the source code here: https://github.com/mrleolink/SimpleInfiniteCarousel. I tried to comment as much as possible in source code, so I hope you understand my idea.

By the way, I don't think it's the best solution to implement the carousel pattern, so if you have any idea or there's something you don't understand about what I code, just drop me a line :)
