ViewPager within ListView row item

Viewed 4064

I have read a lot of related questions regarding this question. However, none of them has been answered. I am trying to add a ViewPager to each row in the ListView where there are two layouts within the pager. I believe this is doable because of SwipeListView.

Now I have implemented it. However, a blank page is showing with a line in the middle. No rows are appearing.

Enter image description here

Here is my code:

MainActivity + ArrayAdapter

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    ListView list;
    String[] heros;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        heros = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.heros);

        list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView1);
        list.setAdapter(new CustomAdapter(this, heros));
    }

    public class CustomAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String>
    {
        String[] heros;
        Context context;
        public CustomAdapter(Context context, String[] heros) {
            super(context, R.layout.pager_item_list, R.id.listView1, heros);
            // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
            this.heros = heros;
            this.context = context;
        }

        @Override
        public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
            View row = inflater.inflate(R.layout.pager_item_list, parent, false);

            Log.d("how many times", "I really don't know how it should be");

            ViewPager pager = (ViewPager) row.findViewById(R.id.pager);
            pager.setId(position);
            pager.setAdapter(new PagerCustomAdapter());

            pager.setCurrentItem(0);

            return row;
        }
    }
}

Here is my pageAdapter

public class PagerCustomAdapter extends PagerAdapter{
    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return 2;
    }

    @Override
    public Object instantiateItem(View container, int position) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) container.getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        int id = 0;

        Log.d("I am in pagerAdater", "I am here, dammit!");

        switch(position)
        {
            case 0:
                id = R.layout.fragment_top_item;
                break;
            case 1:
                id = R.layout.fragment_bottom_item;
                break;
        }
        View view = inflater.inflate(id, null);
        ((ViewPager)container).addView(view, 0);
        return view;
    }

    @Override
    public void destroyItem(View arg0, int arg1, Object arg2) {
        ((ViewPager) arg0).removeView((View) arg2);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isViewFromObject(View arg0, Object arg1) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return arg0 == ((View) arg1);
    }

    @Override
    public Parcelable saveState() {
        return null;
    }

}

I have tried both pagerAdapter & FragmentPagerAdapter and both had the same result

I added two log messages in getView() and instantiateItem() and both are being read in logcat as expected. There are neither warnings nor errors in LogCat.

What am I missing?
