Gallery/AdapterView Child Drawable State

Question

I am using a Gallery view where the view corresponding to each item is non-trivial and consists of text as well as multiple buttons.

When I click to drag the gallery

Answer 1

If you happen to extend from Gallery to create your own custom version of it, you can simply do:

  @Override
  public boolean onDown(MotionEvent e) {
    // Ignore onDown events in order to avoid having every child's state set to 'pressed'
    return true;
  }

This will still allow the custom gallery's children to properly receive click events, and swiping / flinging works as intended.
