Please give me a solution. An

Same solution as GuilhE with a minor fix to avoid getting false positives when paging left (swiping right) on the first page(no more pages to the left) in the ViewPager. It simply does an additional check to see if the swipe has actually moved at all.

new ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener() {

  private static final float thresholdOffset = 0.5f;
  private static final int thresholdOffsetPixels = 1;
  private boolean scrollStarted, checkDirection;

  @Override
  public void onPageScrolled(int position, float positionOffset, int positionOffsetPixels) {
    if (checkDirection) {
      if (thresholdOffset > positionOffset && positionOffsetPixels > thresholdOffsetPixels) {
        Log.i(C.TAG, "going left");
      } else {
        Log.i(C.TAG, "going right");
      }
    checkDirection = false;
  }
}

  @Override
  public void onPageSelected(int position) {}

  @Override
  public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int state) {
    if (!scrollStarted && state == ViewPager.SCROLL_STATE_DRAGGING) {
      scrollStarted = true;
      checkDirection = true;
    } else {
      scrollStarted = false;
    }
  }
 });
