You can implement image scrolling functionality in Android using the ViewPager and ImageView components. Here is a simple implementation guide:

  1. Add a ViewPager control to the XML layout file to display a sliding image effect.
<androidx.viewpager.widget.ViewPager
    android:id="@+id/viewPager"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />
  1. Create an adapter class that inherits from PagerAdapter and implements its methods.
public class ImageAdapter extends PagerAdapter {
    private Context mContext;
    private List<Integer> mImages;

    public ImageAdapter(Context context, List<Integer> images) {
        mContext = context;
        mImages = images;
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return mImages.size();
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isViewFromObject(View view, Object object) {
        return view == object;
    }

    @Override
    public Object instantiateItem(ViewGroup container, int position) {
        ImageView imageView = new ImageView(mContext);
        imageView.setImageResource(mImages.get(position));
        container.addView(imageView);
        return imageView;
    }

    @Override
    public void destroyItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) {
        container.removeView((ImageView) object);
    }
}
  1. Initialize the ViewPager and adapter in the Activity, then set the adapter to the ViewPager.
ViewPager viewPager = findViewById(R.id.viewPager);
List<Integer> images = new ArrayList<>();
images.add(R.drawable.image1);
images.add(R.drawable.image2);
images.add(R.drawable.image3);
ImageAdapter adapter = new ImageAdapter(this, images);
viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
  1. The ViewPager’s scrolling effects can be customized as needed, such as setting page transition animations.
viewPager.setPageTransformer(true, new ZoomOutPageTransformer());

By following the above steps, you can implement image sliding functionality in Android.
