Stop ViewPagers inside ListView from resetting

I have a ListView that contains rows of ViewPagers. When a ViewPager is scrolled off screen, I want to save its page position. When the user scrolls to the ViewPager again, I then want to restore its last saved page position.

I'm trying to accomplish this with the following code:

public class MyBaseAdapter extends BaseAdapter {

    // Row ids that will come from server-side, uniquely identifies each
    // ViewPager
    private List<String> mIds = new ArrayList<String>();
    private Map<String, Integer> mPagerPositions = new HashMap<String, Integer>();

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        String id = mIds.get(position);

        View rootView = convertView;
        if (rootView == null) {
            rootView = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(
                    R.layout.row, null);
        }

        ViewPager viewPager = (ViewPager) rootView.findViewById(R.id.pager);
        Integer pagerPosition = mPagerPositions.get(id);
        if (pagerPosition != null) {
            viewPager.setCurrentItem(pagerPosition);
        }
        viewPager.setOnPageChangeListener(new MyPageChangeListener(id));

        return rootView;
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return mIds.size();
    }

    @Override
    public Object getItem(int position) {
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public long getItemId(int position) {
        return 0;
    }

    private class MyPageChangeListener extends
            ViewPager.SimpleOnPageChangeListener {

        private String mId;

        public MyPageChangeListener(String id) {
            mId = id;
        }

        @Override
        public void onPageSelected(int position) {
            mPagerPositions.put(mId, position);
        }
    }
}

The page position gets saved on the first invocation of setPagerPosition(). Afterwards, when the ViewPager goes off-screen, onPageSelected() is called with the first page position that was saved — overwriting any previous onPageSelected() calls that occurred when the ViewPager was still visible.

What's the right way to do this?

The solution was to not overwrite the pager position when the ViewPager is not visible. There appears to be a bug in Android where onPageSelected is called when the ViewPager goes off screen when scrolling through the ListView.

@Override
public void onPageSelected(int position) {
    if (viewPager.isShown()) {
        mTopicPositions.put(mId, position);
    }
}

I think you can get the current displayed position by indexOfChild(viewPager.getFocusedChild()) and store it in a shared preference, and can retrieve it whenever required. Hope this helps
