Answer 1

you should know that if you return false for action_down , you will not get any further actions regarding this touch event

https://developer.android.com/training/gestures/detector#capture-touch-events-for-an-activity-or-view

"Beware of creating a listener that returns false for the ACTION_DOWN event. If you do this, the listener will not be called for the subsequent ACTION_MOVE and ACTION_UP string of events. This is because ACTION_DOWN is the starting point for all touch events."

Answer 2

This code worked for me. I was able to Swipe-dismiss Relative and Linear Layouts. Just make sure you call the removeView() method from the correct immediate parent layout.

            @Override
            public void onDismiss(View view, Object token) {
            ViewGroup parent=(ViewGroup)dissmissableLayout.getParent();
            parent.removeView(dismissableLayout);
            }

Answer 3

I just used the same SwipeDismissTouchListener class to implement a swipe gesture on a RelativeLayout, and at first had the problem of ACTION_MOVE never getting passed through, or any action other than ACTION_DOWN.

Found out that the problem is in ACTION_DOWN returning false. So just change your case ACTION_DOWN to return true, and it will work properly, as that will make other actions also get passed through.
