I am combining some pieces of code which I have found on stackoverflow and in the android development kit. I want to put the fingerpaint canvas within a lockable horizontalscrollview. However whenever I atempt to draw in a horizontal direction the scrollview scrolls rather than painting on the canvas. It did not have this problem when I had an imageview in the place of the custom view from fingerpaint. I think that perhaps the overriding of the onTouchEvent in both the custom lockableHorizontalScrollView and the custom drawingView may be at fault. I can provide further details and code if required.
Extracts from:
drawingView.java
@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
float x = event.getX();
float y = event.getY();
switch (event.getAction()) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
touch_start(x, y);
invalidate();
break;
case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
touch_move(x, y);
invalidate();
break;
case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
touch_up();
invalidate();
break;
}
return true;
}
LockableHorizontalScrollView.java
@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
switch (ev.getAction()) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
// if we can scroll pass the event to the superclass
if (mScrollable) return super.onTouchEvent(ev);
// only continue to handle the touch event if scrolling enabled
return mScrollable; // mScrollable is always false at this point
default:
return super.onTouchEvent(ev);
}
}
