How to know ViewPager has scrolled half the screen in android

Question

I want to know that the ViewPagers View has scrolled half the screen or not?

While I am dragging it, if it has covered half the screen I want to change the page.

For e.g. if I am testing on MDPI, i.e. of screen width 320px, and if I drag my page of ViewPager by 160px then I want to change the page.

How to get this half distance covered by view from ViewPager?

Use OnPageChangeListener's methods. The onPageScrolled method returns positionOffset > 0.5 if user scrolled more than half of the screen. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/view/ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener.html

I assume You want to update some static views when page is scrolled by half of screen without waiting for it to scroll full page width. Here is my solution for this problem using onPageScrolled callback.

@Override
public void onPageScrolled( int position , float positionOffset , int positionOffsetPixels )
{
    if ( position == mCurrentSelectedScreen )
    {
        // We are moving to next screen on right side
        if ( positionOffset > 0.5 )
        {   
            // Closer to next screen than to current
            if ( position + 1 != mNextSelectedScreen )
            {
                mNextSelectedScreen = position + 1;
                updateStaticViewsForScreen( mNextSelectedScreen );
            }
        }
        else
        {
            // Closer to current screen than to next
            if ( position != mNextSelectedScreen )
            {
                mNextSelectedScreen = position;
                updateStaticViewsForScreen( mNextSelectedScreen );
            }
        }
    }
    else
    {
        // We are moving to next screen left side
        if ( positionOffset > 0.5 )
        {   
            // Closer to current screen than to next
            if ( position + 1 != mNextSelectedScreen )
            {
                mNextSelectedScreen = position + 1;
                updateStaticViewsForScreen( mNextSelectedScreen );
            }
        }
        else
        {
            // Closer to next screen than to current
            if ( position != mNextSelectedScreen )
            {
                mNextSelectedScreen = position;
                updateStaticViewsForScreen( mNextSelectedScreen );
            }
        }
    }
}

@Override
public void onPageSelected( int arg0 )
{
    updateStaticViewsForScreen( arg0 );
    mCurrentSelectedScreen = arg0;
    mNextSelectedScreen = arg0;
}

Hi oLo : Need some idea from you I have to check before swipe viewpager if exist then go ahead on left to right direct. i wasted lots of time to doing this but not getting perfact. Thanks a lot in advance. — Teraiya Mayur, May 06 '15 at 08:48

I agree with preious answer, but when I quick swipe and release on ViewPager, onPageSelected will be trigged before onPageScrolled and it will call updateStaticViewsForScreen 3 times and view blinks. I upgrade solution with recording ViewPager's state:

@Override
public void onPageScrolled(int position, float positionOffset, int positionOffsetPixels )
{
    if(mCurrentPagerState != ViewPager.SCROLL_STATE_SETTLING) 
    {

          // one of previous code of onPageScrolled         

    }
}

@Override
public void onPageSelected( int position)
{

    // one of previous code of onPageSelected   

}

@Override
public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int state) {
    mCurrentPagerState = state;
}

This solved my headache. Thank you so much. Would this be considered an Android bug? — TigerHix, Aug 03 '16 at 15:26

It can be achieved without mNextSelectedScreen. Do what you want on setPage().

private int mCurrentPage;

@Override
public void onPageScrolled(int position, float positionOffset, int positionOffsetPixels) {

    if (position == mCurrentPage) {
        // It's gone to right.
        if (positionOffset > 0.5) {
            setPage(position + 1);
        }
        // Not yet.
        else {
            setPage(position);
        }
    } else {
        // It's gone to left.
        if (positionOffset < 0.5) {
            setPage(position);
        }
        // Not yet.
        else {
            setPage(position + 1);
        }
    }
}

@Override
public void onPageSelected(int position) {
    mCurrentPage = position;
    setPage(position);
}

setonpagechangelistner event on view pager.

MyPagerAdapter adapter = new MyPagerAdapter(getApplicationContext());
            myPager = (ViewPager)findViewById(R.id.myfivepanelpager);
            myPager.setAdapter(adapter);
            myPager.setCurrentItem(0);
            myPager.setOffscreenPageLimit(7);
            myPager.setOnPageChangeListener(new MyPageChangeListener());

then

private class MyPageChangeListener extends ViewPager.SimpleOnPageChangeListener {

        /* (non-Javadoc)
         * @see android.support.v4.view.ViewPager.SimpleOnPageChangeListener#onPageSelected(int)
         */
        @Override
        public void onPageSelected(int position) {
            focusedPage = position;

            switch (focusedPage) {
            case 0: 
                break;
            case 1:
                                 Break;
}
}

here you can get the position of your current page.

sorry to bother you. I was not clear with my question. I updated it now please check it once again. Thanks — Manoj, Dec 12 '12 at 07:16
