Question

I've looked at the samples and the only difference seems to be the name, but when I just switch all the names in my app to TabPageIndicator from TitlePageIndicator, the tabs are in a messed up alignment and the footer underline is gone.

Am I missing something? Is there something extra I need to do? I have

    @Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    MyFragmentPagerAdapter adapter = new MyFragmentPagerAdapter( getSupportFragmentManager() );
    ViewPager pager =
        (ViewPager)findViewById( R.id.viewpager );
    TabPageIndicator indicator =
        (TabPageIndicator)findViewById( R.id.indicator );
    pager.setAdapter( adapter );
    indicator.setViewPager( pager );

and

    <FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:padding="5dp" >
            <com.viewpagerindicator.TabPageIndicator
    android:id="@+id/indicator"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
    android:id="@+id/viewpager"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     />
</FrameLayout>

Solution

What are the differences between TabPageIndicator and TitlePageIndicator?

Try viewing that page and see if you find the answer.

I did, that's why I posted to begin with.

Title Indicator

Displays the title of the selected page in the center with the titles of the adjacent pages (if available) in a more subtle style.

Tab Indicator

Similar to the title indicator but displays as many titles as possible in scrolling and animated horizontal tabs.

TitlePagerIndicator example:

Adapter

class TestFragmentAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
protected static final String[] CONTENT = new String[] { "This", "Is", "A", "Test", };

private int mCount = CONTENT.length;

public TestFragmentAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
    super(fm);
    }

@Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
    return TestFragment.newInstance(CONTENT[position % CONTENT.length]);
    }

@Override
public int getCount() {
    return mCount;
    }

public void setCount(int count) {
    if (count > 0 && count <= 10) {
        mCount = count;
        notifyDataSetChanged();
        }
    }
}

When you use TitlePagerIndicator you need to implement TitleProvider in your Adapter.

class TestTitleFragmentAdapter extends TestFragmentAdapter implements TitleProvider {
public TestTitleFragmentAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
    super(fm);
    }

@Override
public String getTitle(int position) {
    return TestFragmentAdapter.CONTENT[position % CONTENT.length];
    }
}

Putting it all together

TestFragmentAdapter mAdapter = new TestTitleFragmentAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
ViewPager mPager = (ViewPager)findViewById(R.id.pager);
mPager.setAdapter(mAdapter);
PageIndicator mIndicator = (TitlePageIndicator)findViewById(R.id.indicator);
mIndicator.setViewPager(mPager);

TabPagerIndicator example:

public class SampleTabsDefault extends FragmentActivity {
private static final String[] CONTENT = new String[] { "Recent", "Artists", "Albums", "Songs", "Playlists", "Genres" };

TestFragmentAdapter mAdapter;
ViewPager mPager;
PageIndicator mIndicator;

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

    mAdapter = new GoogleMusicAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());

    mPager = (ViewPager)findViewById(R.id.pager);
    mPager.setAdapter(mAdapter);

    mIndicator = (TabPageIndicator)findViewById(R.id.indicator);
    mIndicator.setViewPager(mPager);
    }

class GoogleMusicAdapter extends TestFragmentAdapter implements TitleProvider {
    public GoogleMusicAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
        super(fm);
        }

    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int position) {
        return TestFragment.newInstance(SampleTabsDefault.CONTENT[position % SampleTabsDefault.CONTENT.length]);
        }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return SampleTabsDefault.CONTENT.length;
        }

    @Override
    public String getTitle(int position) {
        return SampleTabsDefault.CONTENT[position % SampleTabsDefault.CONTENT.length].toUpperCase();
        }
    }
}
