I have 2 viewpagers in the application.Both are custom - One returns false in onInterceptTouchEvent. The other has a try catch implemented in onInterceptTouchEvent. How is this error occuring then? Added code for the 2 viewpagers below

public class BottomBarViewPager extends ViewPager {

    public BottomBarViewPager(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

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

    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
        return false;
    }
}


public class GalleryViewPager extends ViewPager {

    public static final String TAG = GalleryViewPager.class.getSimpleName();

    private boolean swipeEnabled;

    public GalleryViewPager(Context context, AttributeSet attributes) {
        super(context, attributes);
        this.swipeEnabled = true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent te) {
        if (this.swipeEnabled) {
            return super.onTouchEvent(te);
        }

        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent me) {
        if (this.swipeEnabled) {


            /*
            This is caused by a bug in ViewPager and a solution is to catch the Exception
            and continue on.  This only happens if you quickly tap with 2 fingers in different
            locations, rapidly.


             */
            try {
                return super.onInterceptTouchEvent(me);
            } catch (IllegalArgumentException ex) {
//                SinclairLogger.e(TAG, "Caught exception in onInterceptTouchEvent", ex);
            }
        }

        return false;
    }

    public void setPagingEnabled(boolean enabled) {
        this.swipeEnabled = enabled;
    }
}

Added code for the viewpagers as requested

Answer 1

i have same problem (thanks to azi)

use ViewPagerFixed fixed your bug

public class ViewPagerFixed extends android.support.v4.view.ViewPager {

public ViewPagerFixed(Context context) {
    super(context);
}

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

@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
    try {
        return super.onTouchEvent(ev);
    } catch (IllegalArgumentException ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }
    return false;
}

@Override
public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
    try {
        return super.onInterceptTouchEvent(ev);
    } catch (IllegalArgumentException ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }
    return false;
}}

your xml file

<com.radesh.android.view.ViewPagerFixed xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/pager"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />

BottomBarViewPager can extend to ViewPagerFixed

Answer 2

The above code I have used and it works for me. This error Exception java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: pointerIndex out of range android.view.MotionEvent.nativeGetAxisValue (MotionEvent.java) android.view.MotionEvent.getX (MotionEvent.java:2141)

might occur because of some sort of code like this which you might be using.

`int action = event.getAction();
 int actionCode = action & MotionEvent.ACTION_MASK;

 if(actionCode == MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_UP || action == 
 MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
int which = action >> MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_ID_SHIFT;
int id = event.getPointerId(which);
float x = event.getX(id);
float y = event.getY(id);
