SectionsPagerAdapter.Java class

Is it OK if i just leave the "SectionsPagerAdapter" in the original MainActivity class as it was created?

Would i have any problems down the line if i don't put it in a separate class file?

Yes you can leave the 'SectionsPagerAdapter' in the original class as it was created. Just remember to switch between your tabs to return your fragments: 

public Fragment getItem(int position) {
            switch (position) {
                case 0:
                    return new FragmentOne();
                case 1:
                    return new FragmentTwo();
                case 2:
                    return new FragmentThree();

            }
            return null;
        }

However, it's a better to separate it - follows the single responsibility principle. Makes your code easier to manage and update. Also easier for other developers to work with if you're part of a team. Hope this helps.
