The more general extension of ViewPager would bet to create a "SetPagingEnabled" method so that we can enable and disable paging on the fly. To enable / disable the swiping, just overide two methods: "onTouchEvent" and "onInterceptTouchEvent". Both will return "false" if the paging was disabled.
public class CustomViewPager extends ViewPager {
private boolean enabled;
public CustomViewPager(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
this.enabled = true;
}
@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
if (this.enabled) {
return super.onTouchEvent(event);
}
return false;
}
@Override
public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
if (this.enabled) {
return super.onInterceptTouchEvent(event);
}
return false;
}
public void setPagingEnabled(boolean enabled) {
this.enabled = enabled;
} }
Then select this instead of the builtin viewpager in XML
<mypackage.CustomViewPager
android:id="@+id/myViewPager"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent" />
You just need to call the "setPagingEnabled" method with "false" and users won't be able to swipe to paginate
