Dynamic construction of the pager content

[arnauvp]

Thanks for the good work so far! This plugin is exactly what I need for a new app we're building.
I have been playing with the plugin for a couple of days but I can't manage to add the content dynamically with angular. Trying to use *ngFor results in an exception like:

JS:     com.tns.gen.android.support.v4.view.PagerAdapter_frnal_ts_helpers_l58_c38__PagerAdapter.instantiateItem(android.support.v4.view.PagerAdapter.java)
JS:     android.support.v4.view.ViewPager.addNewItem(ViewPager.java:1034)
...
JS: Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot add a null child view to a ViewGroup
JS:     android.view.ViewGroup.addView(ViewGroup.java:4189)
JS:     android.view.ViewGroup.addView(ViewGroup.java:4171)

I also tried creating the Nativescript views with code and pushing them to the items array:
this.pager.nativeElement.items.push(someStackLayoutWithChildren);

In the end the problem seems to be the _nativeView property being undefined in instantiateItem.
Could you guys provide some guidance on how this could be achieved? I'm using the android emulator.

Thanks in advance!

@arnauvp you can upgrade to 2.3.0 that should fix your problem

So fast!!! That allows me to programmatically inject Nativescript components in the slider, big win! I am still trying to figure out how to render full angular components in there, since *ngFor still complains (I guess since nodes don't map to a real Android View). I'll retry a few of the things I had previously attempted with ComponentFactoryResolver and Renderer. I'll keep you posted!

This image summarizes how I got it working. There's probably a better way...
[slide-page] is just a directive to get hold of the placeholder stacklayout using ViewContainerRef and @ViewChild (should be called something else now that I only need one of these in the page).
Then I create a component in the placeholder, remove it with ViewUtil and add it to the slidder after wrapping it with a new StackLayout.

@arnauvp Do you have a full code example? I could use some inspiration and guidance to achieve the same in my project.
