Could AppIntro support to lock/unlock pager when navigating by keypad?

[tmshih]

AppIntroBase support to lock/unlock pager by invoking AppIntroBase.setSwipeLock(Boolean), which applies to the scenario of touch control.

Does AppIntro support to lock/unlock pager by keypad control?
(AppIntroViewPager may override ViewPager.arrowScroll(int) just like https://github.com/tmshih/FragmentPager/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/tms/fragmentpager/view/SwipeableViewPager.java)

Could you clarify what would be your expected behavior?

For Android TV or dongle (e.g. https://store.google.com/product/chromecast_google_tv), such devices only provide a remote to interact with various APPs. It's all based on KeyEvent to interact with APP, and the AppIntroBase.setSwipeLock(Boolean) does not apply to lock current page when user press left/right key.

So, AppIntro may provide a way to lock current page when user using a remote (just like AppIntroBase.setSwipeLock(Boolean) could lock the interaction with touch events). It's useful to develop a tutorial for TV APPs.

For example https://github.com/tmshih/FragmentPager/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/tms/fragmentpager/view/SwipeableViewPager.java
I'm override the ViewPager.arrowScroll(int) to lock KeyEvent interaction, which may provide a reference.

Yup that makes sense. I believe we can create a protected fun setArrowScrollLock(lock: Boolean) function to toggle this 👍

I'm happy to review a PR to do this if you, or someone else, wish to develop this :)

That's great!
