Using ViewPager with ActionsContentView

Question

So I'm using ActionsContentView My goal is to implement a ViewPager element within it. Utilizing just one other view. Has anybody done this with this project? The author says it's not easily done, and seeing how I'm still very new in Android programming (migrated from iOS) I feel I need help.

I have ready the docs on ViewPager, but couldn't seem to make them link up properly.

And help would be appreciated.

UPDATE: 12/23

So I managed to get most of this working on the demo app using this tutorial http://looksok.wordpress.com/2013/10/26/android-support-v4-viewpager-tutorial-including-source-code/, however, when I click links in the drawer, they don't update in main view.

This one part below will respond to clicks when its set in RelativeLayout, but ViewPager is broken, but when set in Linearlayout, ViewPager works, but links wont respond.

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/content"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
    android:id="@+id/myViewPager"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
</LinearLayout>

Another thing I could be thinking that in my MainActivity, it's not updating the proper view. It clicks, closes the drawer and then nothing happens. Heres my MainActivity.

package com.chris.myapp;

import com.chris.myapp.adapter.ActionsAdapter;

import com.chris.myapp.fragment.WebViewFragment;
import com.chris.myapp.MyPagerAdapter;

  private String currentContentFragmentTag = null;

  @Override

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.example);

    final MyPagerAdapter pageAdapter = new MyPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
    final ViewPager pager = (ViewPager)findViewById(R.id.myViewPager);
    pager.setAdapter(pageAdapter);

    viewActionsContentView = (ActionsContentView) findViewById(R.id.actionsContentView);
    viewActionsContentView.setSwipingType(ActionsContentView.SWIPING_EDGE);
    viewActionsContentView.setSpacingType(ActionsContentView.SPACING_ACTIONS_WIDTH);
    viewActionsContentView.setSpacingWidth(650);
    viewActionsContentView.setActionsSpacingWidth(0);



    final ListView viewActionsList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.actions);
    final ActionsAdapter actionsAdapter = new ActionsAdapter(this);
    viewActionsList.setAdapter(actionsAdapter);
    viewActionsList.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {

      @Override

          long flags) {
        final Uri uri = actionsAdapter.getItem(position);

        if (EffectsActivity.URI.equals(uri)) {
          startActivity(new Intent(getBaseContext(), EffectsActivity.class));
          return;
        }

        updateContent(uri);
        viewActionsContentView.showContent();

    });

    if (savedInstanceState != null) {
      currentUri = Uri.parse(savedInstanceState.getString(STATE_URI));
      currentContentFragmentTag = savedInstanceState.getString(STATE_FRAGMENT_TAG);

      viewActionsContentView.showContent();
    else
      viewActionsContentView.showActions();
  }

  @Override
  protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
    outState.putString(STATE_URI, currentUri.toString());
    outState.putString(STATE_FRAGMENT_TAG, currentContentFragmentTag);

    super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
  }

  public void updateContent(Uri uri) {

        fragment = webViewFragment;
      }
      webViewFragment.setUrl(uri.toString());
    } else {
      return;
    }

    if (fragment.isAdded()) {
      tr.show(fragment);
    } else {
      tr.replace(R.id.content, fragment, tag);
    }
    tr.commit();

    currentUri = uri;
    currentContentFragmentTag = tag;
  }


    private static long back_pressed;
    private Toast toast;
    @Override

            if (webFragment.onBackPressed())
                return;
        }

        if (back_pressed + 2000 > System.currentTimeMillis()) 
        {

            // need to cancel the toast here
            toast.cancel();  

            // code for exit
            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
            intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
            intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
            startActivity(intent);
            finish();

        }
        else

            toast=  Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Press again to exit", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
            toast.show();

Thanks for using ActionsContentView library.

To update content of fragment at ViewPager, please try replace updateContent method body with next code:

public void updateContent(Uri uri) {
    if (uri == null)
        return;

    final WebViewFragment webViewFragment = (WebViewFragment)
            pageAdapter.getItem(MyPagerAdapter.WEBVIEW_FRAGMENT_POSITION);
    webViewFragment.setUrl(uri.toString());
    webViewFragment.reload();
    currentUri = uri;
}

I got web view to load content into main frame of ViewPager after that.
