I use ViewPager with PagerAdapter. Is it possible to implement vertical swipe in Android, where you can scroll between views from top to down and from down to top? I need identical behavior that ViewPager does by default, but in vertical way. I found method canScrollVertically() but it's not what I am looking for I suppose. Thanks in advance

Natively, no.
However, Jake Wharton has a directional ViewPager that does this.

The only problem is he doesn't support it anymore, but it will get you started. It might even be enough for what you want.

Thank you for your reply. I tried to use it, but I stopped because of huge differeces between their and current version of support library. I will probably use ScrollView instead :( – pawelo Jan 29 '13 at 17:21

What was the problem? Did you swap out the support library in the project with the new ones? I managed to get it working with my project although it was almost 6 months ago so I don't remember all I had to do. I just know that it works pretty well. – DeeV Jan 29 '13 at 17:54

As much as I enjoy points, you may not want to accept until it works though in case someone has a better solution. That's the only solution I was able to find when I needed to do it. – DeeV Jan 29 '13 at 18:00

@DeeV You answered my first question by telling me that it isn't possible natively. That was what I needed and I saw (and even tested) DirectionalViewPager prior to posting my problem, so I believe You deserve that point. Btw: I decided to use ListView for now instead of this swipe thing. Thx for Your time. – pawelo Jan 30 '13 at 15:38

@input It might require some modification, but at the very least it can be used as a starting point if you need a vertical viewpager class. I can tell you that I am using it with the latest compatibility libraries, but I can't recall what as needed to get it to work. – DeeV Jan 30 '13 at 16:08

I just wonder why was it deprecated. Did the vertical swipe got added to view pager? There has to be a reason. Anyone aware about it? – Jayshil Dave May 02 '13 at 13:18

The directional ViewPager was a custom library that Jake Wharton was working on, but he moved on to ActionbarSherlock. Vertical viewpaging has not been officially added to my knowledge. – DeeV May 02 '13 at 13:29
