How to make a Carousel

XML

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:id="@+id/relativeLayout">


    <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:id="@+id/pager"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">
    </android.support.v4.view.ViewPager>

</RelativeLayout>

To customize your adapter, you need to create res/layout/pager_item.xml :

<LinearLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:id="@+id/imageView" />

</LinearLayout>

Adapter

After that, you can create% custom% to set your adapter :

public class CustomPagerAdapter extends PagerAdapter {

    private Context mContext;
    private LayoutInflater mLayoutInflater;
    private int[] mResources;

    public CustomPagerAdapter(Context context, int[] resources) {
        mContext = context;
        mResources = resources;
        mLayoutInflater = (LayoutInflater) mContext.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
    }

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

    @Override
    public boolean isViewFromObject(View view, Object object) {
        return view == ((LinearLayout) object);
    }

    @Override
    public Object instantiateItem(ViewGroup container, int position) {
        View itemView = mLayoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.pager_item, container, false);

        ImageView imageView = (ImageView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.imageView);
        imageView.setImageResource(mResources[position]);

        container.addView(itemView);

        return itemView;
    }

    @Override
    public void destroyItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) {
        container.removeView((LinearLayout) object);
    }

}

Activity

Next, place the following code in ViewPager in your onCreate :

mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);

// Aqui estao suas imagens dentro do drawable
int[] mResources = {
    R.drawable.first,
    R.drawable.second,
    R.drawable.third,
    R.drawable.fourth,
    R.drawable.fifth,
    R.drawable.sixth
};

CustomPagerAdapter mCustomPagerAdapter = new CustomPagerAdapter(this, mResources);

mViewPager.setAdapter(mCustomPagerAdapter);

See this tutorial for more details.

CardView

For you to make an adaptation using cardview, you need to change your Activity :

<LinearLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <!-- A CardView that contains a TextView -->
    <android.support.v7.widget.CardView
    xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/card_view"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:layout_width="200dp"
    android:layout_height="200dp"
    card_view:cardCornerRadius="4dp">

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:id="@+id/imageView" />

    </android.support.v7.widget.CardView>

</LinearLayout>

The CardView widget is part of < a href="https://developer.android.com/tools/support-library/features.html?hl=en#v7"> Support Library v7 . To use this widget in the project, add this Gradle dependency to the application module:

dependencies {
    ...
    compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:21.0.+'
}
