Do not allow user to click on one of the tabs

Question

I have 7 dates tabs in my screen. However, if the date falls on another month, I do not allow user to click on that tabs. I want to make them visible but not clickable.

This is part of my code:

public void setupViewPager(ViewPager viewPager, ArrayList<String> id, ArrayList<String> tasks,
                           ArrayList<Double> mondayHours, ArrayList<Double> tuesdayHours,
                           ArrayList<Double> wednesdayHours, ArrayList<Double> thursdayHours,
                           ArrayList<Double> fridayHours, ArrayList<Double> saturdayHours,
                           ArrayList<Double> sundayHours) {
    Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
    bundle.putStringArrayList(EXTRA_CHECKED_TASK_ID, id);
    bundle.putStringArrayList(EXTRA_CHECKED_TASKS, tasks);
    bundle.putSerializable(EXTRA_MONDAY, mondayHours);
    bundle.putSerializable(EXTRA_TUESDAY, tuesdayHours);
    bundle.putSerializable(EXTRA_WEDNESDAY, wednesdayHours);
    bundle.putSerializable(EXTRA_THURSDAY, thursdayHours);
    bundle.putSerializable(EXTRA_FRIDAY, fridayHours);
    bundle.putSerializable(EXTRA_SATURDAY, saturdayHours);
    bundle.putSerializable(EXTRA_SUNDAY, sundayHours);

    final String MON = "MON" + "\n" + MainActivity.sevenDatesList.get(0);
    final String TUE = "TUE" + "\n" + MainActivity.sevenDatesList.get(1);
    final String WED = "WED" + "\n" + MainActivity.sevenDatesList.get(2);
    final String THU = "THU" + "\n" + MainActivity.sevenDatesList.get(3);
    final String FRI = "FRI" + "\n" + MainActivity.sevenDatesList.get(4);
    final String SAT = "SAT" + "\n" + MainActivity.sevenDatesList.get(5);
    final String SUN = "SUN" + "\n" + MainActivity.sevenDatesList.get(6);

    adapter = new ViewPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager(), bundle);
    adapter.addFragment(new MondayFragment(), MON);
    adapter.addFragment(new TuesdayFragment(), TUE);
    adapter.addFragment(new WednesdayFragment(), WED);
    adapter.addFragment(new ThursdayFragment(), THU);
    adapter.addFragment(new FridayFragment(), FRI);
    adapter.addFragment(new SaturdayFragment(), SAT);
    adapter.addFragment(new SundayFragment(), SUN);

    viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
}

I researched on similar problem, but we using different approach to create tabs and some I do not understand. Research 1

Answer 1

this what i do when to enable or disable tab or customize tab.

//get tab view
ViewGroup vg = (ViewGroup) tab_event.getChildAt(0);
//get number of tab
int tabsCount = vg.getChildCount();
//loop the tab
for (int j = 0; j < tabsCount; j++) {
    //get view of selected tab
    ViewGroup vgTab = (ViewGroup) vg.getChildAt(j);

    if(j==DESIRED_POSITION){
         //disable the selected tab
         vgTab.setEnable(false);
    }       
}

if you attach with viewpager, you need to disable the swipe of the viewpager. If not, you still can swipe to the disable tab.
