Creating an Automated Scrolling Horizontal Pager in Jetpack Compose

Are you working on a dashboard that features a horizontal pager filled with banners fetched from an API? If so, you might want to enhance your user experience by adding an automatic scrolling feature, similar to a slider. This guide will walk you through the steps needed to achieve this in Jetpack Compose, providing you with a clear understanding of how to implement this functionality effectively.

The Challenge: Automatic Scrolling for Your Horizontal Pager

You've set up a horizontal pager and are successfully displaying content. However, the expected behavior of smoothly scrolling through the different banners is missing. Your goal is to have the pager automatically scroll to the next banner after a set interval, enhancing the dashboard's visual appeal and interactivity.

Let’s look at how to implement this feature using Jetpack Compose.

Step 1: Understanding the Basic Structure

Here’s the structure you should have in your DashboardScreen and the BannerSlider components:

Dashboard Screen

This is the main composable function where your pager is set up:

Banner Slider

This component manages the actual display of the banners:

Step 2: Implementing Automatic Scrolling

Now that you have the base structure, it’s time to add the logic for automatic scrolling. This can be achieved using the LaunchedEffect composable in combination with a coroutine to manage your pager's page transitions.

Adding the Automatic Scroll Logic

Below is the code snippet that you will incorporate into your DashboardScreen function to achieve the scrolling functionality:

Things to Remember

Delay Adjustment: You can adjust the delay(2000L) to make the auto-scroll speed faster or slower depending on your needs.

Current Page Handling: This code will automatically loop back to the first page after reaching the end of the list of banners.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can successfully implement an automated scrolling horizontal pager in your Jetpack Compose application, providing a dynamic dashboard experience for your users. Experiment with the delay settings and enjoy creating engaging their dashboards! If you encounter any issues or have additional questions, feel free to reach out for support!

Happy coding!
