gesture issue with mapview in viewpager page

Question

My app\'s main interface is a viewpager where the user just slides the pages horizontally to get to the various pages. One of the pages has a google mapview (pasted below).

Answer 1

If using Google Maps V2, use

scrollingView.getClass().getPackage().getName().startsWith("maps.") in canScroll method:

@Override
protected boolean canScroll(View scrollingView, boolean checkV, int dx, int x, int y) {
    if (scrollingView.getClass().getPackage().getName().startsWith("maps.")) {
        return true;
    }
    return super.canScroll(scrollingView, checkV, dx, x, y);
}

Becase scrollingView is maps.j.b when using maps v2.

Also in my code, these classes are used:

import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment;

Answer 2

Of course there is:

public class CustomViewPager extends ViewPager {

    public CustomViewPager(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public CustomViewPager(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    @Override
    protected boolean canScroll(View v, boolean checkV, int dx, int x, int y) {
        if(v instanceof MapView){
            return true;
        }
        return super.canScroll(v, checkV, dx, x, y);
    }

}

This will make the map ignore all the slides inside the map and just care about the slides/draggs outside the map. Hope it helps. (I do this right now for a webview with horizontal scroll)

EDIT: Forgot to mention that instead of the ViewPager you need to use the CustomViewPager in yout layout.

<com.yourpackage.CustomViewPager
            android:id="@+id/viewpager"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
        />
