Hi! I am using the ViewFlipper to switch between different views by implementing a swing (mouse down, move and release). This works great with non-clickable items, e.g. a TextView.
But if the views are clickable items (such as buttons), the onTouch() method of the ViewFlipper is not called. :-( Does anyone know why this is so and how I can implement this "pseudo gesture"? I know that I could do this easily by using the 1.6 SDK and the new gesture support, but my application is limited to 1.5. Thanks in advance & regards Marc Reichelt || http://www.marcreichelt.de/ PS: I developed a simple example so that you can see what I mean. --------- Content of TestFlipper.java --------- package com.example.test; import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.MotionEvent; import android.view.View; import android.view.View.OnTouchListener; import android.widget.ViewFlipper; public class TestFlipper extends Activity { /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); final ViewFlipper flipper = (ViewFlipper) findViewById (R.id.flipper); flipper.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() { private float oldX; @Override public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) { switch (event.getAction()) { case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN: // save start X location oldX = event.getX(); return true; case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP: // get old X location where the user started the move float currentX = event.getX(); // do not consume event if it is not clear enough if (Math.abs(currentX - oldX) < 25.0f) return false; // show previous view if (oldX < currentX) { flipper.showPrevious(); return true; } // show next view if (oldX > currentX) { flipper.showNext(); return true; } } // do not consume this event by default return false; } }); } } --------- End --------- --------- Content of main.xml --------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" > <ViewFlipper android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:id="@+id/flipper"> <Button android:id="@+id/b1" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:text="1" android:textSize="100px" /> <Button android:id="@+id/b2" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:text="2" android:textSize="100px" /> <Button android:id="@+id/b3" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:text="3" android:textSize="100px" /> </ViewFlipper> </LinearLayout> --------- End --------- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
