How to detect Swipe and Tap in onTouch
method? I want one of two actions to be executed when I swipe and other when I just tap. Need to know how to dell the difference between tap and swipe.
Here is my code:
@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE) {
mGestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event);
}
switch(event.getAction()) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
x1 = event.getX();
y1 = event.getY();
break;
case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
x2 = event.getX();
y2 = event.getY();
float deltaX = x2 - x1;
float deltaY = y2 - y1;
if (Math.abs(deltaX) > MIN_DISTANCE) {
mGestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event);
}else if (Math.abs(deltaX) < MIN_DISTANCE) {
mGestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event);
}else if (Math.abs(deltaY) > MIN_DISTANCE) {
mGestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event);
}else if (Math.abs(deltaY) < MIN_DISTANCE) {
mGestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event);
}
break;
}
return true;
}
Here is what you can do,found out on this link
In onCreate of activity, add this.
final GestureDetector gestureDetector = new GestureDetector(new GestureListener());
calendar.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
@Override
public boolean onTouch(final View view, final MotionEvent event) {
if (gestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event)) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
});
And here is GestureDetector Class
class GestureListener extends SimpleOnGestureListener {
@Override
public boolean onSingleTapConfirmed(MotionEvent event) {
// Trigger the touch event on the calendar
calendar.onTouchEvent(event);
return super.onSingleTapUp(event);
}
@Override
public boolean onFling(MotionEvent e1, MotionEvent e2, float velocityX, float velocityY) {
ViewConfiguration viewConfiguration = ViewConfiguration.get(EventsActivity.this);
int minSwipeDistance = viewConfiguration.getScaledPagingTouchSlop();
int minSwipeVelocity = viewConfiguration.getScaledMinimumFlingVelocity();
int maxSwipeOffPath = viewConfiguration.getScaledTouchSlop();
if (Math.abs(e1.getY() - e2.getY()) > maxSwipeOffPath) {
return false;
}
if (Math.abs(velocityX) > minSwipeVelocity) {
// Right to left swipe
if (e1.getX() - e2.getX() > minSwipeDistance) {
calendar.nextMonth();
}
// Left to right
else if (e2.getX() - e1.getX() > minSwipeDistance) {
calendar.previousMonth();
}
// Call some app-related functions to update the display
displayDate(calendar.getMonth(), calendar.getYear());
}
return false;
}
}
