  1. A FragmentPagerAdapter was autogenerated upon project creation and added to the StreamingActivity as SectionsPagerAdapter. We will modify this implementation in order to support switching between Publisher and Subscriber activities for our streaming application example. Open StreamingActivity and modify SectionsPagerAdapter as such for now:

    public class SectionsPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
    
      public SectionsPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
        super(fm);
      }
    
      @Override
      public Fragment getItem(int position) {
        // getItem is called to instantiate the fragment for the given page.
        // Return a PlaceholderFragment (defined as a static inner class below).
        return PlaceholderFragment.newInstance(position + 1);
      }
    
      @Override
      public int getCount() {
        return 2;
      }
    
      @Override
      public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
        Locale l = Locale.getDefault();
        switch (position) {
          case 0:
            return "Publish";
          case 1:
            return "Subscribe";
        }
        return null;
      }
    }
