This is an Example of React Native View Pager with 3 Different Indicators. React Native View Pager allows the user to flip left and right through pages. In our ViewPager Example, we’ll implement a ViewPager that swipes through three different views with the indicator.
- PagerDotIndicator
- PagerTabIndicator
- PagerTitleIndicator
To Make a React Native App
Getting started with React Native will help you to know more about the way you can make a React Native project. We are going to use react-native init to make our React Native App. Assuming that you have node installed, you can use npm to install the react-native-cli command line utility. Open the terminal and go to the workspace and run
npm install -g react-native-cliRun the following commands to create a new React Native project
react-native init ProjectNameIf you want to start a new project with a specific React Native version, you can use the --version argument:
react-native init ProjectName --version X.XX.Xreact-native init ProjectName --version react-native@nextThis will make a project structure with an index file named App.js in your project directory.
Installation of Dependency
To use PagerTabIndicator, IndicatorViewPager, PagerTitleIndicator, PagerDotIndicator you need to install rn-viewpager package. To install this
Open the terminal and jump into your project
1 | cd Projectname |
Run the following command
1 | npm install rn-viewpager --save |
This command will copy all the dependencies into your node_module directory, You can find the directory in node_module the directory named rn-viewpager.
–save is optional, it is just to update the react-navigation dependancy in your package.json file.
Now Open App.js in any code editor and replace the code with the following code.
App.js

To Run the React Native App
Open the terminal again and jump into your project using.cd ProjectNamereact-native run-androidreact-native run-ios (macOS only).
That was the React Native ViewPager. If you have any doubt or you want to share something about the topic you can comment below or contact us here. There will be more posts coming soon. Stay tuned!

Hi,
How to change the DotIndicator color.
Hi Ravi,
To change the color of the DotIndicator you need to override the default prop using dotStyle and selectedDotStyle where you can change the background color of the dot indicator. Please change the PagerDotIndicator with the following lines and you will see the change.
In case of any issue please comment.
Thankyou so much for your help.
Any time brother. 🙂
Hi Snehal, Can you help me create the View pager with button and the button should be below to the dot-pager.

https://snack.expo.io/@aboutreact/view-pager-with-button-below-dot-pager
If this is not matching to your requirement then can you please explain it in detail so that we can help you.
Hello ~
Thank you for your tutorial , It’s very useful with me.
Could i make indicator in top of the view pager ?
Please try to customize the PagerDotIndicator. For the hint, you can follow this example https://aboutreact.com/example-to-align-a-view-at-the-bottom-of-screen-in-react-native/
You can use position: ‘absolute’, to make it at the top.
renderDotIndicator() {return <PagerDotIndicator pageCount={3}
dotStyle={{backgroundColor:"green"}}
selectedDotStyle={{backgroundColor:"yellow"}}/>;
}
I will try to provide a solution for that as soon as possible.
Hi! Need your help. I am using react-router native and I want to redirect to another route on swipe left on the last tab with this.props.history.push(‘/next_route’). Is it possible to implement somehow?
So the thing you want is the event on left swipe right?
Can you please describe more?
Hey! Is it possible to create an infinity loop ? go from last page to first page.
Sorry but this library does not support that.. Let me look into other solution which will fulfill your needs.. I will cantact you if I found any library according to your need..
Hello, please How can I have the indicators at the top?
I tried but. :p Unable to do that.
Thanks fr the article, really useful. Is there a way that you can have a ‘next’ button which would implement the same change as a swipe? Thanks in advance 🙂
This library does not provide that much customization.

how to enable autoscroll
Hello Raji,
I have tried but found no prop for that. maybe I have to look for the other component for that. I have noted that and will update the post soon. 🙂
Hello,
I’m new in React native i had integrated rn-viewPager from your demo and notes. but when i try to run app. it shows me error like componentWillUpdate is deprecated can you please help me to sort-out this warning.
In the latest React Native 0.60 version you will see Warning: componentWillUpdate is deprecated and will be removed in the next major version. Use componentDidUpdate instead. As a temporary workaround, you can rename to UNSAFE_componentWillUpdate.
It is just a warning for now so wait till the library manager updates the library.
