Example of using a ViewPager as a Header in a ListView. We need to explicitly set the layout params of the Header view because its not known at initialization time, in my case I am asynchronously loading images into the ViewPager.

MainActivity.java

public class ProductDetailActivity extends FragmentActivity {
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    
      final DisplayMetrics displayMetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
      getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displayMetrics);
      final int width = displayMetrics.widthPixels;

      mListView = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.product_detail_list_view);
      
      // Initialize the header view
      View headerView = (LinearLayout)getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.product_detail_header_row, null);
      mFeaturedImagePager = (ViewPager)headerView.findViewById(R.id.image_pager);
      mFeaturedImageAdapter = new FeaturedImagesPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager(), mFeaturedImageUrls.size());
      mFeaturedImagePager.setAdapter(mFeaturedImageAdapter);
      mFeaturedImagePager.setOffscreenPageLimit(2);
      mListView.addHeaderView(headerView, null, false);

      // The crucial part
      AbsListView.LayoutParams headerViewParams = new AbsListView.LayoutParams(width, 400);
      headerView.setLayoutParams(headerViewParams);
    }

}

How you solved the problem?
E/InputEventReceiver(30633): Exception dispatching input event.
When I scroller down and up the listview, throws this exception.

Thank you! It solved my problem with GridView inside ListView's header.
1). I noticed that such problem will appear every time when the size(width/height) of layout/widget inside ListView's header is undefined when ListView inittializes itself. Be careful when use inside a header widgets with the custom background drawable.
2). If you have excess area inside header - try paint all layouts and widget (ALL WIDGETS AND LAYOUTS!) inside header in different colors. The cause of excess area might be unexpected widget from completely unexpected place (multilined EditText in my case)
