The more general extension of `ViewPager` would be 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 built-in 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.
