How to scroll webview horizontally inside 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?

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 :)

Try this

WebView mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.MyWebview);
mWebView.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setSupportZoom(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setUserAgentString("Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/1A543a Safari/419.3");
