Why is my SimpleOnGestureListener not functioning?

Question

I\'m using my own GestureDetector class to detect a left|right onFling event. Everything I see looks good in my code but nothing happens...?

I need the added function

Answer 1

I give credit to @Devunwired as he suggested above:

If layout contains children that are also touchable, they may be stealing the events from their parent (your layout).

So I added:

View swipeView = (View) findViewById(R.id.animation_layout_content);
swipeView .setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {...});

Which works wonderfully now.
