Androidpdfviewer: Dragging (when zoomed) in ViewPager not working as expected

[peshkira]

I have a few pdfs displayed in a view pager. When I zoom one and try to drag to the left/right, the pdf does not pan, but the view pager immediately takes hold of the scrolling and switches to the next page.

If I first drag up/down and then (without lifting my finger) drag left/right, it seems to work as expected.

Any ideas, how I can pass the touch events first to the PDFView and then to the view pager?

Same problem here. Would be nice if someone has an idea how to resolve this issue.

That's because canScrollHorizontally(int direction) is not implemented, which is already requested in issue #19

Had the same problem, but fixed it with overriding VP canScroll method

[dabele91]

@paperrose can you write an example how you've implemented the canScroll functionality?

@dabele91

public class PDFViewPager extends ViewPager {

    public PDFViewPager(Context context) {
        super(context);

    }

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

    @Override
    protected boolean canScroll(View v, boolean checkV, int dx, int x, int y) {
        if (v instanceof ViewGroup) {
            final ViewGroup group = (ViewGroup) v;
            final int scrollX = v.getScrollX();
            final int scrollY = v.getScrollY();
            final int count = group.getChildCount();
            for (int i = count - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
                final View child = group.getChildAt(i);
                if (x + scrollX >= child.getLeft() && x + scrollX < child.getRight() &&
                        y + scrollY >= child.getTop() && y + scrollY < child.getBottom()) {
                    if ((child instanceof PDFView && isNotHorizontalBounds((PDFView)child, dx)) || canScroll(child, true, dx, x + scrollX - child.getLeft(),
                            y + scrollY - child.getTop()))
                        return true;
                }
            }
        }

        return checkV && false;
    }

    private boolean isNotHorizontalBounds(PDFView view, int dx) {
        final float zoom = view.getZoom();
        final float pageWidth = view.getWidth()*zoom;
        final float offset = view.getCurrentXOffset();
        if (offset + pageWidth <= getWidthScreen() + 1 && dx < 0) return false;
        if (offset >= -1 && dx > 0) return false;
        return true;
    }

    private int getWidthScreen(){
        WindowManager wm = (WindowManager) getContext().getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
        Display display = wm.getDefaultDisplay();
        Point size = new Point();
        display.getSize(size);
        return size.x;
    }
}

@paperrose works lke a charm. thanks ;-)

[hustyichi]

Thank you , it works

[paperrose]

Just find a small bug in my code above. In landscape orientation right-to-left swipe doesn't change page
Solved by replacing
final float pageWidth = view.getWidth()*zoom;
to
final float pageWidth = view.getOptimalPageWidth()*zoom;

How to use this approach, I can't find ViewPager class?

[peshkira]

Hi @MonaHammad!

The ViewPager is part of the android support library: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/view/ViewPager.html

It is not related to this PDF library. This issue here is relevant if you show multiple PDFs inside a view pager. Hope this helps.

best

Hi @peshkira
Ok, thanks.
But how to use it here to improve the paging while zooming in this library?
I couldn't figure out how to use PDFViewPager?
