Answer 1

Here is the way i use. it is prety simple.

When you assign onTouchListener to ViewFlipper, create reference for that listener first.

public class ViewFlipperTouchListener implements OnTouchListener {
   ....
   ......
}


ViewFlipperTouchListener listener = new ViewFlipperTouchListener ();

mViewFlipper.setOnTouchListener(listener);



//now you have reference to listener. use it to send on touch event.


mListView.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener(){

  @Override
  public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event){
     listener.onTouch(v, event);
 return false;
  }
});

i simply delegated MotionEvent to viewflipper's onTouchListener by using reference "listener". And return false to imply that event is not consumed on ListView. This will help you to scroll down/up on listview and delegates everything (scroll down/up and swipe left/right ...etc to listener.)..

Believe it. it works nice :D
