Creating OnDragListener for Google Map v2 Fragment

Question

I’m trying to setup an onDrag Listener for a google map fragment, but can’t get the drag event to fire. Since the map doesn\'t support drag events directly, I\'m trying to i

1) Create wrapper class:

public class MapWrapperLayout extends FrameLayout {

    public interface OnDragListener {
        public void onDrag(MotionEvent motionEvent);
    }

    private OnDragListener mOnDragListener;

    public MapWrapperLayout(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
        if (mOnDragListener != null) {
            mOnDragListener.onDrag(ev);
        }
        return super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev);
    }

    public void setOnDragListener(OnDragListener mOnDragListener) {
        this.mOnDragListener = mOnDragListener;
    }
}

2) Create subclass of MapFragment class:

public class CustomMapFragment extends SupportMapFragment {

    private View mOriginalView;
    private MapWrapperLayout mMapWrapperLayout;

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        mOriginalView = super.onCreateView(inflater, container, savedInstanceState);

        mMapWrapperLayout = new MapWrapperLayout(getActivity());
        mMapWrapperLayout.addView(mOriginalView);

        return mMapWrapperLayout;
}

    @Override
    public View getView() {
        return mOriginalView;
    }

    public void setOnDragListener(MapWrapperLayout.OnDragListener onDragListener) {
        mMapWrapperLayout.setOnDragListener(onDragListener);
    }

3.1) Finally, in your activity:

    // Google map init block
    CustomMapFragment customMapFragment = ((CustomMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map));
    customMapFragment.setOnDragListener(new MapWrapperLayout.OnDragListener() {
        @Override
        public void onDrag(MotionEvent motionEvent) {
            Log.d("ON_DRAG", String.format("ME: %s", motionEvent));
            // Handle motion event:
        }
    });
    GoogleMap map = customMapFragment.getMap();

3.2) ... and in your layout:
