LinearLayout inside ViewPager disables swiping

I have a RecyclerView inside a Fragment for ViewPager. Each item inside the RecyclerView is a LinearLayout. My problem is that I can't swipe pages when I touch the RecyclerView. I've tried it with RelativeLayout and it worked, so the problem is with the LinearLayout.

My fragment layout:

<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"
    />

The row layout:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:weightSum="1">
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="0.05"
        android:textAlignment="center"
        android:id="@+id/game_all_text_number"
        android:singleLine="true"
        android:ellipsize="marquee"
        android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"
        />
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="0.225"
        android:textAlignment="center"
        android:id="@+id/game_all_text_player1"
        android:singleLine="true"
        android:ellipsize="marquee"
        android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"
        />
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="0.225"
        android:textAlignment="center"
        android:id="@+id/game_all_text_player2"
        android:singleLine="true"
        android:ellipsize="marquee"
        android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"
        />
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="0.225"
        android:textAlignment="center"
        android:id="@+id/game_all_text_player3"
        android:singleLine="true"
        android:ellipsize="marquee"
        android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"
        />
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="0.225"
        android:textAlignment="center"
        android:id="@+id/game_all_text_player4"
        android:singleLine="true"
        android:ellipsize="marquee"
        android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"
        />
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="0.05"
        android:textAlignment="center"
        android:id="@+id/game_all_text_diff"
        android:singleLine="true"
        android:ellipsize="marquee"
        android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"
        />
</LinearLayout>

If I change the row's parent to RelativeLayout, I can swipe and it works just fine, but it doesn't if it's a LinearLayout.

I don't need to click on the RecyclerView at all, is there a way so that any swiping or any touch event done on the RecyclerView can be disabled and instead sent to the fragment?

Had the same issue and the cause of this was android:singleLine="true", removing this solves the problem but with the price of losing autoscrolling text. However, I found a workaround by adding onTouchListener to each view that uses singleLine:

view.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener()
        {
            @Override
            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event)
            {
                if (event.getAction() == android.view.MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
                {
                    view.setSingleLine(false);
                    view.setMaxLines(1);
                }
                else if (event.getAction() == android.view.MotionEvent.ACTION_UP || event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL)
                {
                    view.setSingleLine(true);
                }
                return true;
            }
        });

This will disable singleLine while pressing down to make swiping possible and re-enable it after releasing.

try setting 

android:clickable="false"
android:focusable="false"
android:focusableInTouchMode="false"

on the RecyclerView or item LinearLayout
