Method onTouchEvent not being called

Question

I\'m having a problem that my method

@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
    return gestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event);
}
         


        

Answer 1

All gestures and touch events goes to the lowest element in view hierarchy who can handle it. So if you have any listener in included layout you can call ((TypeOfParrent)yourView.getParent()).onTouchEvent(event) to delegate event to the handler you want.

ADD: I recoment you to use ViewPager for flipping views. In the ViewPager you dont need to implements your own onGestureListener.
