Disable ViewPager Swipe

Question

I'm in a class extending a FragmentActivity. To disable the viewpager swipe i wan't to override the onInterceptTouchEvent method which is not possible because i can't extend the viewpager class because i'm already extending the FragmentActivity class.

A solution for this problem would be to create a custom viewpager:

public class CustomViewPager extends ViewPager
{
    private boolean enabled;
    public CustomViewPager(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }
    @Override
    public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
            return this.enabled && super.onInterceptTouchEvent(event);
    }
}

and

 CustomViewPager viewPager;
 viewPager = findViewById(R.id.viewpager);

but then i get the following casting error:

android.support.v4.view.ViewPager cannot be cast to MainPage$CustomViewPager

are there some other ways to override the onInterceptTouchEvent method or to disable the view pager swipe?

Which casting error? Any helpful errors or logcat would be great to add in here. Thank you. Also: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9650265/how-do-disable-paging-by-swiping-with-finger-in-viewpager-but-still-be-able-to-s — ʍѳђઽ૯ท, Sep 10 '18 at 16:16

Just write;

viewPager = (CustomViewPager) findViewById(R.id.viewpager);

The findViewById method returns view, you have to say which class will be initialized.

This is not working. It says that (CustomViewPager) is redundant and i get the same cast error: android.support.v4.view.ViewPager cannot be cast to MainPage$CustomViewPager – NetForceProduction Sep 10 '18 at 16:23
Change ViewPager tag in xml file with your custom class including package name. – C. Soylu Sep 10 '18 at 16:31
