  1. You don’t say how you load the background.

    But, if you’ve simply just set in the fragment layout then the image gets loaded when you inflate the XML. This happens in the UI thread. The larger the image the longer it takes.

    I would recommend loading images with an async library like Picasso.

  2. I had the same problem. First I thought the data size of the image was to big but that wasn’t the case. I changed the measurement of the image in Photoshop and decreased the width. Now it works fine.

  3. i implemented mViewPager.setOffscreenPageLimit(0); but it seems it
    dosnt work

    Firstly,

    Why did you set page limit to 0 if you are hoping for a smoother swipe ?

    Do it as (if you have 3 tabs just set limiit to 1 , if 5 tabs, setting it to 2 would work)

    mViewPager.setOffscreenPageLimit(2); 
    

    this means you are forcing caching of your 2 left and 2 right tabs from current tab.

    So that they wont be loaded again and again instead they would be cached.

    NOTE Having said that, you should keep in mind that it would consume more memory and avoid unnecessary memory consumption.

    hope it helped someone.
