How can I make my page slide as the user slides finger on the screen? Any example code?

Answer 1

You will need Gesture detector - the classes / interfaces under considerations are:

 1. android.view.GestureDetector
 2. android.view.GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener

Method of interest is onFling.

Now, based on the X, Y and the velocity in respective directions, you can "draw your view" / "reposition the nested views in case of activity or view-group" at corresponding location.

An example of how to redraw can be found in any game-example like LunarLander in Android at http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/LunarLander/src/com/example/android/lunarlander/LunarView.html
