Scroll Webview in Viewpager

Question

I have a WebView in a ViewPager. And the ViewPager seems to consume all the horizontal scrolling, so that I can't scroll in the WebView (vertical works).

How can I achieve that the WebView has got priority consuming the horizontal scrolling?

Answer 1

don't ask me why this code gets formatted like this,

1. implement a custom ViewPager Instance like this:

import android.content.Context;
import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.MotionEvent;

public class CustomViewPager extends ViewPager {

    private MagazineWebView_WithoutFlipWebView mCurrentPageWebView_; //custom webview

    public CustomViewPager(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {

        if (Constants.LOGGING) {
            Log.v(Constants.LOG_OEAMTC_APP, "CustomViewPager - onInterceptTouchEvent");
        }

        // if view zoomed out (view starts at 33.12... scale level) ... allow
        // zoom within webview, otherwise disallow (allow viewpager to change
        // view)
        if (mCurrentPageWebView_ != null && (mCurrentPageWebView_.getScale() * 100) > 34) {
            Log.v(Constants.LOG_OEAMTC_APP, "CustomViewPager - intrcepted: " + String.valueOf((mCurrentPageWebView_.getScale() * > 100)));
            this.requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
        }
        else {
            if (mCurrentPageWebView_ != null) {
                Log.v(Constants.LOG_OEAMTC_APP,
                        "CustomViewPager - not intrcepted: " + String.valueOf(mCurrentPageWebView_.getScale() * 100));
            }
            this.requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(false);
        }

        return super.onInterceptTouchEvent(event);
    }

    public MagazineWebView_WithoutFlipWebView getCurrentPageWebView() {
        return mCurrentPageWebView_;
    }

    public void setCurrentPageWebView(MagazineWebView_WithoutFlipWebView currentPageWebView) {
        mCurrentPageWebView_ = currentPageWebView;
    }
}

2. in your main (ViewPager) Activity add the following lines to the view pager

mViewPager_ = new AwesomePagerAdapter();
viewpapgerInLayout = (CustomViewPager) findViewById(R.id.awesomepager);
viewpapgerInLayout.setAdapter(mViewPager_);
viewpapgerInLayout.setOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener() {
    @Override
    public void onPageSelected(int position) {
        viewpapgerInLayout.setCurrentPageWebView(mLstPagesWebviews_.get(position));
    }
    
    @Override
    public void onPageScrolled(int position, float positionOffset, int positionOffsetPixels) {
    
    }
    
    @Override
    public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int state) {
    
    }
});

3. finally, run it :=) if the zoom level is at initial zoom, changes pages is allowed, all the other time you can navigate your web view

Ps.: Don't forget to change your ViewPager in your *.xml file with the CustomViewPager Class you just created

good luck :)
