Please have a look at the following code. I am only posting the important sections of the code.
activity_game.xml
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@+id/fullView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context=".Game" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/numberOfQuestionsLeft"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
android:text="TextView" />
</RelativeLayout>
Game.java
public class Game extends Activity {
private View fullView;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_game);
fullView = (View)findViewById(R.id.fullView);
fullView.setOnTouchListener(imageViewSwiped);
}
OnTouchListener imageViewSwiped = new OnSwipeTouchListener()
{
public boolean onSwipeRight()
{
//code removed
}
public boolean onSwipeLeft()
{
//code removed
return true;
}
public boolean onSwipeBottom()
{
//code removed
return true;
}
};
}
OnSwipTouchListener.java
Note - I do not own this class of the code. It is written by another SO member.
package game.Game;
import android.view.GestureDetector;
import android.view.GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnTouchListener;
public class OnSwipeTouchListener implements OnTouchListener {
private final GestureDetector gestureDetector = new GestureDetector(new GestureListener());
public boolean onTouch(final View v, final MotionEvent event) {
return gestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event);
}
private final class GestureListener extends SimpleOnGestureListener {
private static final int SWIPE_THRESHOLD = 100;
private static final int SWIPE_VELOCITY_THRESHOLD = 100;
@Override
public boolean onDown(MotionEvent e) {
return super.onDown(e);
}
@Override
public boolean onFling(MotionEvent e1, MotionEvent e2, float velocityX, float velocityY) {
boolean result = false;
try {
float diffY = e2.getY() - e1.getY();
float diffX = e2.getX() - e1.getX();
if (Math.abs(diffX) > Math.abs(diffY)) {
if (Math.abs(diffX) > SWIPE_THRESHOLD && Math.abs(velocityX) > SWIPE_VELOCITY_THRESHOLD) {
if (diffX > 0) {
result = onSwipeRight();
} else {
result = onSwipeLeft();
}
}
} else {
if (Math.abs(diffY) > SWIPE_THRESHOLD && Math.abs(velocityY) > SWIPE_VELOCITY_THRESHOLD) {
if (diffY > 0) {
result = onSwipeBottom();
} else {
result = onSwipeTop();
}
}
}
} catch (Exception exception) {
exception.printStackTrace();
}
return result;
}
}
public boolean onSwipeRight() {
return false;
}
public boolean onSwipeLeft() {
return false;
}
public boolean onSwipeTop() {
return false;
}
public boolean onSwipeBottom() {
return false;
}
}
Now, I am trying to make the make the WHOLE ACTIVITY touched enabled. Please view Game.java
to see how I did it. But the problem is, it is not reacting to any kind of touch event! There is nothing wrong with the code OnSwipTouchListener.java
because I have used the touch events of this by setting the listener to an image view
.
There must be a problem where I am trying to make the whole activity touch enabled. By saying "Whole Activity Touch Enabled" what I mean is, I need to swipe across the whole screen instead of adding the listener to an imageview
.
What have I done wrong here?
This is my example:
@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
super.onTouchEvent(event);
float x = event.getX();
float y = event.getY();
Toast.makeText(Example.this, "x=" + x + " y="+ y,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return false;
}
Hope this is helpful to someone! Cheer!
