Limited Swipe Area Android

This might be a what you need:

public class MyPager extends ViewPager {
    public MyPager(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

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

    @Override
    public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
        if(inNeutralArea(ev.getX(),ev.getY())){
            //--events re-directed to this ViewPager's onTouch() and to its child views from there--
            return false; 
        }else {
            //--events intercepted by this ViewPager's default implementation, where it looks for swipe gestures--
            return super.onInterceptTouchEvent(ev);
        }
    }

    private boolean inNeutralArea(float x, float y) {
        //--check if x,y inside non reactive area, return true/false accordingly--
        return false;
    }

}

Use this MyPager class in layout xml in place of ViewPager.
