Create a new class which named CustomViewPager. The class inherits from ViewPager and includes a new method called setPagingEnabled. To enable / disable the swiping, just overwrite two methods: onTouchEvent and onInterceptTouchEvent. Both return false if the paging is disabled.

Here is the full code:

package com.yourpackage;

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

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 in your layout.xml file replace any <com.android.support.V4.ViewPager> tags with <com.yourpackage.CustomViewPager> tags like below.

<com.yourpackage.CustomViewPager 
android:id="@+id/photosViewPager" 
android:layout_height="match_parent" 
android:layout_width="match_parent" />

Now use CustomViewPager instead of ViewPager in your activity. And that's it. Now, anytime to disable the swiping, just need to call the setPagingEnabled method with false.

CustomViewPager mViewPager = (CustomViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
mViewPager.setPagingEnabled(false);
