Making a ViewFlipper like the Home Screen using MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE

Question

Ok I have a ViewFlipper with three LinearLayouts nested inside it. It defaults to showing the first one. This code:

// Assumptions in m         


        

Answer 1

Moving the view while you're moving your finger is easily done:

case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
    final View currentView = vf.getCurrentView();
    currentView.layout((int)(touchEvent.getX() - oldTouchValue), 
            currentView.getTop(), currentView.getRight(), 
            currentView.getBottom());
break;

Now this only moves the current view, not the neighbors. I didn't test that yet, but those can probably be obtained by getChildAt:

vf.getChildAt(vf.getDisplayedChild() - 1); // previous
vf.getChildAt(vf.getDisplayedChild() + 1); // next

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

If I understand your request, this effect should now be implemented using a View Pager

Looks like this:
