How to distinguish between move and click in onTouchEvent()?

Question

In my application, I need to handle both move and click events.

A click is a sequence of one ACTION_DOWN action, several ACTION_MOVE actions and one ACTION_UP action

Below code will solve your problem

    @Override
        public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent 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();
                    dx = x2-x1;
                    dy = y2-y1;

                if(Math.abs(dx) > Math.abs(dy)) 
                {
                    if(dx>0) move(1); //right
                    else if (dx == 0) move(5); //click
                    else move(2); //left
                } 
                else 
                {
                    if(dy>0) move(3); // down
                    else if (dy == 0) move(5); //click
                    else move(4); //up
                }
                }
            }
            return true;
        }
