You'll be wanting this excellent tutorial (site died, here's a new link: http://jsharkey.org/blog/2008/09/15/crossing-things-off-lists-in-android-09-sdk/). Essentially, you're going to create a transparent view in front of the ListView which consumes horizontal motionevents and passes non-horizontal motionevents back down to the ListView.
