a simple edit to @L. Swifter's code snippet for the ones wondering about variables, I wrapped it all in a method which you can add to your activity after setting the adapter

private void automateViewPagerSwiping() {
    final long DELAY_MS = 500;//delay in milliseconds before task is to be executed
    final long PERIOD_MS = 3000; // time in milliseconds between successive task executions.
    final Handler handler = new Handler();
    final Runnable update = new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            if (viewPager.getCurrentItem() == adapter.getCount() - 1) { //adapter is your custom ViewPager's adapter
                viewPager.setCurrentItem(0);
            }
            else {
            viewPager.setCurrentItem(viewPager.getCurrentItem() + 1, true);
            }
        }
    };

    timer = new Timer(); // This will create a new Thread
    timer.schedule(new TimerTask() { // task to be scheduled
        @Override
        public void run() {
            handler.post(update);
        }
    }, DELAY_MS, PERIOD_MS);
}
