android - how to disable viewpager adapter on touching specific views? -

i have viewpager switches between tabs when swiping left/right.in second tab, have custom views have listeners pinching , dragging when try pinch or drag, viewpager starts swipe page.

a solution comes mind disable swiping when touching specific views , swipe when touching outside views.is possible?

updated: @asok kindly provided solution. updated code wouldnt work in case post previous piece of code worked me:

public class customviewpager extends viewpager { private boolean swipeable = true;  public customviewpager(context context) {     super(context); }  public customviewpager(context context, attributeset attrs) {     super(context, attrs); }  // call method in motion events when want disable or enable // should work desired. public void setswipeable(boolean swipeable) {     this.swipeable = swipeable; }  @override public boolean onintercepttouchevent(motionevent arg0) {     return (this.swipeable) ? super.onintercepttouchevent(arg0) : false; } 

lets suppose have draggable view , need disable swipping when dragging start , re enable when dragging finished in touchevent of called view:

    @override public boolean ontouchevent(motionevent event) {     switch(event.getaction()) {     case motionevent.action_down: //disable swiping when button touched ((activityoriginal) getactivity()).setswipeable(false); //the rest of code...         break;     case motionevent.action_move:          break;     case motionevent.action_up: //re enable swipping when touch stopped //the rest of code... ((activityoriginal) getactivity()).setswipeable(true);         break;     }     return true; } 

this first thing comes mind me have custom viewpager in which, when touch listeners notified of specific event set swipeable boolean in viewpager false , set true whichever way best fits application.

public class customviewpager extends viewpager {     private boolean swipeable = true;      public customviewpager(context context) {         super(context);     }      public customviewpager(context context, attributeset attrs) {         super(context, attrs);     }      // call method in motion events when want disable or enable     // should work desired.     public void setswipeable(boolean swipeable) {         this.swipeable = swipeable;     }      @override     public boolean onintercepttouchevent(motionevent arg0) {         return (this.swipeable) ? super.onintercepttouchevent(arg0) : false;      }  }

make sure change layout file show:

<com.your.package.customviewpager .. /> 

instead of:

<android.support.v4.view.viewpager .. />

here setup (working above customviewpager):

customviewpager mviewpager;  @override protected void oncreate(bundle savedinstancestate) {     super.oncreate(savedinstancestate);     setcontentview(r.layout.activity_main);      // set action bar.     final actionbar actionbar = getactionbar();     actionbar.setnavigationmode(actionbar.navigation_mode_tabs);      // create adapter return fragment each of 3     // primary sections of app.     msectionspageradapter = new sectionspageradapter(getsupportfragmentmanager());      // set customviewpager sections adapter.     mviewpager = (customviewpager) findviewbyid(r.id.pager);     mviewpager.setadapter(msectionspageradapter);     mviewpager.setonpagechangelistener(new viewpager.simpleonpagechangelistener() {         @override         public void onpageselected(int position) {             actionbar.setselectednavigationitem(position);         }     });      // each of sections in app, add tab action bar.     (int = 0; < msectionspageradapter.getcount(); i++) {         actionbar.addtab(actionbar.newtab()                 .settext(msectionspageradapter.getpagetitle(i))                 .settablistener(this));     }  }  public void swipeon(view v) {     mviewpager.setswipeable(true); }  public void swipeoff(view v) {     mviewpager.setswipeable(false); } 

the above shown oncreate in mainactivity class extends fragmentactivity , implements actionbar.tablistener
