Fling gesture detection on grid layout

Question

I want to get fling gesture detection working in my Android application.

What I have is a GridLayout that contains 9 ImageView

Answer 1

I nedded a more generic Class , I took Tomas's class and added an Interface that send events to your Activity or Fragment. it will register the listener on the constructor so be sure you implement the interface or an ClassCastException will be thorwn. the interface returns one of the four final int defined in the class and will return the view on which it was activated upon.

import android.app.Activity;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.View;

public class SwipeDetector implements View.OnTouchListener{

    static final int MIN_DISTANCE = 100;
    private float downX, downY, upX, upY;
    public final static int RIGHT_TO_LEFT=1;
    public final static int LEFT_TO_RIGHT=2;
    public final static int TOP_TO_BOTTOM=3;
    public final static int BOTTOM_TO_TOP=4;
    private View v;

    private onSwipeEvent swipeEventListener;


    public SwipeDetector(Activity activity,View v){
        try{
            swipeEventListener=(onSwipeEvent)activity;
        }
        catch(ClassCastException e)
        {
            Log.e("ClassCastException",activity.toString()+" must implement SwipeDetector.onSwipeEvent");
        } 
        this.v=v;
    }
    public SwipeDetector(Fragment fragment,View v){
        try{
            swipeEventListener=(onSwipeEvent)fragment;
        }
        catch(ClassCastException e)
        {
            Log.e("ClassCastException",fragment.toString()+" must implement SwipeDetector.onSwipeEvent");
        } 
        this.v=v;
    }


    public void onRightToLeftSwipe(){   
        swipeEventListener.SwipeEventDetected(v,RIGHT_TO_LEFT);
    }

    public void onLeftToRightSwipe(){   
        swipeEventListener.SwipeEventDetected(v,LEFT_TO_RIGHT);
    }

    public void onTopToBottomSwipe(){   
        swipeEventListener.SwipeEventDetected(v,TOP_TO_BOTTOM);
    }

    public void onBottomToTopSwipe(){
        swipeEventListener.SwipeEventDetected(v,BOTTOM_TO_TOP);
    }

    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        switch(event.getAction()){
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN: {
            downX = event.getX();
            downY = event.getY();
            return true;
        }
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP: {
            upX = event.getX();
            upY = event.getY();

            float deltaX = downX - upX;
            float deltaY = downY - upY;

            //HORIZONTAL SCROLL
            if(Math.abs(deltaX) > Math.abs(deltaY))
            {
                if(Math.abs(deltaX) > MIN_DISTANCE){
                    // left or right
                    if(deltaX < 0) 
                    {
                        this.onLeftToRightSwipe();
                        return true;
                    }
                    if(deltaX > 0) {
                        this.onRightToLeftSwipe();
                        return true; 
                    }
                }
                else {
                    //not long enough swipe...
                    return false; 
                }
            }
            //VERTICAL SCROLL
            else 
            {
                if(Math.abs(deltaY) > MIN_DISTANCE){
                    // top or down
                    if(deltaY < 0) 
                    { this.onTopToBottomSwipe();
                    return true; 
                    }
                    if(deltaY > 0)
                    { this.onBottomToTopSwipe(); 
                    return true;
                    }
                }
                else {
                    //not long enough swipe...
                    return false;
                }
            }

            return true;
        }
        }
        return false;
    }
    public interface onSwipeEvent
    {
        public void SwipeEventDetected(View v , int SwipeType);
    }
