What you link is not supposed to explain much, almost everything on the
Reference portion of the site is just a little more than a Javadoc instance
and that's what it's made for. In the official site you can find
https://developer.android.com/training/animation/screen-slide.html which is
not a big thing but it's a starting point.
Not a tutorial, but it could be useful: a section of a chapter on Mark
Murphy's book,
https://commonsware.com/Android/previews/swiping-with-viewpager explaining
a bit about its components.
You can also check his code samples:

Considering the fact that everyone on
this list is a volunteer, I suggest you moderate your tone
if you want to get any help at all.

If no one has written a viewpager
tutorial that meets your needs, then probably no one
needed
one. I suggest you look at the source code and api
documentation, build some simple test apps so you learn
how
the view pager works, and then write the best viewpager
tutorial that has ever been written. You will surely
receive
all the accolades you deserve for your efforts.

Hello guys,

I need to get this out before
I go completely insane.

Currently I am developing an
app which creates PieCharts based on user entries, and i
have a working single screen/ viegroup/ activity whatever
version of the app running and complete.

However, i want
to improve the layout of this application
a little bit and it would help tremendously to have a
viewpager with three different pages to host three
diffreerent fragments with their own purpose each.

When I got the idea, i was rather optimistic about
achieving
my goal, one week has passed since then.

What have I found
on the Internet?

One great tutorial,
which shows in detail how to create and define
a ViewPager with all its components and listeners and
adapters and whatsoever, with the goal to allow a young
fresh developer to create a simple ui which would help him
create a GREAT application?

NOPE

Half
assed information and so called "tutorials" which
leave out important information alà:

"How to draw
an Elephant

STEP 1: Draw
the Elephant.
STEP 2:
Done."

YES

However the
biggest joke is the official View
Pager Documentation on the android developers web page,
which explains nothing and leaves me with more questions
than i started out with.

Words cannot explain how
frustrated I am about this. How can such a elementary UI
element which is found in the most famous applications on
google play be so poorly documented and accessable fore
new
developers?

I
hope someone can understand my struggle and help me out,
because this issue is deeply frustrating to me. I am not
trying to outsource my anger/misfortune to anyone here. I
am
just irritated by the sheer ridicule of this viewpager
situation.

If
someone can provide me with ONE good
VIEWPAGER TUTORIAL i would be very thankful.
