Answer 1

You need to subclass your ListView and override the below method:

@Override public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent e) {
   if(e.getAction()==MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE) {
      return true;    
   }

   return super.dispatchTouchEvent(e); 
 }

Answer 2

Can handle by properties of list views to manage scrolling features

// to stop the scrolling of list view
listView.smoothScrollBy(0, 0); 

//to move to the specified specific position in listview
 listView.setSelection(listItemposition) 

Answer 3

If you don't need to select rows from your ListView you can use:

listview.setEnabled(false)

Else, you need to override dispatchTouchEvent :

@Override public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent e) {
   if(e.getAction()==MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE) {
      return true;    
   }
   return super.dispatchTouchEvent(e); 
}

Then, to implement your buttons you can use :

listview.smoothScrollToPosition(position);
