ViewPager + PagerSlidingTabStrip: Navigating from a tab immediately without displaying contents while scrolling

Question

Issue

I am using PagerSlidingTabStrip library which I am loving. The implementation I have is the minimum to get the tabs working as explained in project readme. The only thing I want to adjust is for instance, when I have 3 tabs and I touch on tab 3 from tab 1, the viewpager shows the content of tab 2 as it scrolls to tab 3. I suspected this is a viewpager issue.

Question

How can I jump from tab 1 to tab 3 without showing the content of tab 2 on the way? I'm going to have a map on tab 2, so I don't like having it trying to load that UI.

You could override setUserVisibleHint event of the fragment to know if its visible to the user and then load your data. something like following:

boolean isContentLoaded = false;

@Override
public void setUserVisibleHint(boolean isVisibleToUser) {
   super.setUserVisibleHint(isVisibleToUser);
   if (isVisibleToUser && !isContentLoaded ) {
   loadContent(); 
   isContentLoaded = true;
   }
}

You can use this:

viewPager.setCurrentItem(2,false); // first(tabNumber, (smoothScroll) make it false)
