                return true;

            // beware, it can scroll to infinity
            return true;
        }
    }
    public void onClick(View arg0) 
    {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Helloooo", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); 
    }
}

This code is used for animating image on fling event using Gestures. but the problem here is that it takes time for animation to happen after the drag is done.. what i want is as i drag down the image should animate at the same time .

Answer 1

suggestion is use onTouch instead of gesture listner

write cases for MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN: MotionEvent.ACTION_UP: and MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE

Once you detect the direction to move in MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE use view.setTranslationX or view.setTranslationY depending on direction you want .... Rest what you want after certain drag/move you can write in MotionEvent.ACTION_UP with view

This is just instruction google it for sample code loads of code available
