I'm trying to implement a swipe gesture in my app. I've made almost all code but it doesn't work.
Here is the code I have in my Activity:
// Swipe detector
gestureDetector = new GestureDetector(new SwipeGesture(this));
gestureListener = new OnTouchListener() {
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event)
{
Log.e("", "It works");
return gestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event);
}
};
LinearLayout root = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.rules_root);
root.setOnTouchListener(gestureListener);
When I touch the screen, the logcat displays it works
.
Here he my the code of the class SwipeGesture
:
public class SwipeGesture extends SimpleOnGestureListener
{
private static final int SWIPE_MIN_DISTANCE = 120;
private static final int SWIPE_MAX_OFF_PATH = 250;
private static final int SWIPE_THRESHOLD_VELOCITY = 200;
private Activity activity;
public SwipeGesture(Activity activity)
{
super();
this.activity = activity;
}
@Override
public boolean onFling(MotionEvent e1, MotionEvent e2, float velocityX, float velocityY)
{
Log.e("", "Here I am");
try
{
if (Math.abs(e1.getY() - e2.getY()) > SWIPE_MAX_OFF_PATH) return false;
if(e1.getX() - e2.getX() > SWIPE_MIN_DISTANCE && Math.abs(velocityX) > SWIPE_THRESHOLD_VELOCITY)
{
if ( ((TabActivity) activity.getParent()).getTabHost() != null )
{
TabHost th = ((TabActivity) activity.getParent()).getTabHost();
th.setCurrentTab(th.getCurrentTab() - 1);
}
else
{
activity.finish();
}
Log.e("", "Swipe left");
}
else if (e2.getX() - e1.getX() > SWIPE_MIN_DISTANCE && Math.abs(velocityX) > SWIPE_THRESHOLD_VELOCITY)
{
if ( ((TabActivity) activity.getParent()).getTabHost() != null )
{
TabHost th = ((TabActivity) activity.getParent()).getTabHost();
th.setCurrentTab(th.getCurrentTab() + 1);
}
Log.e("", "Swipe right");
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
return false;
}
}
The line Log.e("", "Here I am");
is never displayed. So I presume the onFling method is never called.
Any ideas of why this doesn't work?
Thanks.
Regards.
