Gesture based action

Here we are discussing about how to set that as the gesture listener for the views that I add.

My requirement : I have list of images in a listview with url. When the user wants view the full image then user click the image on the list view

it will take to me the anonther activity and open in a imageview. and as a user wants to tee the next nexe or previous image with come back to listview page

Solution : I have created the HashMap Contains the list of images and pass the selected images name as bundle string. In a detail view created the async task the fetch image from the internet

implement the gestureListener. In this article we discussing about that

1. Create a Activity implements OnClickListener

public class MySample1Activity extends Activity implements OnClickListener {

........

}

2. Initialize below required object for gestureListener

ViewConfiguration vc;

static int SWIPE_MAX_OFF_PATH = 250;

static int SWIPE_MIN_DISTANCE = 100;

static int SWIPE_THRESHOLD_VELOCITY = 100;

private GestureDetector gestureDetector;

View.OnTouchListener gestureListener;

3. Set Densitybased velocity

vc = ViewConfiguration.get(this);

SWIPE_MIN_DISTANCE = vc.getScaledTouchSlop();

SWIPE_THRESHOLD_VELOCITY = vc.getScaledMinimumFlingVelocity();

4. Create a Custom GestureListener class which extends SimpleOnGestureListener

class MyGestureDetector extends SimpleOnGestureListener {

}

5. Override the onFling() and implement the geature move action

@Override

public boolean onFling(MotionEvent e1, MotionEvent e2, float velocityX,

float velocityY) {

try {

if (Math.abs(e1.getY() - e2.getY()) > SWIPE_MAX_OFF_PATH)

return false;

// right to left swipe

if (e1.getX() - e2.getX() > SWIPE_MIN_DISTANCE

&& Math.abs(velocityX) > SWIPE_THRESHOLD_VELOCITY) {

Toast.makeText(MySample1Activity.this, "Left Swipe",

Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

} else if (e2.getX() - e1.getX() > SWIPE_MIN_DISTANCE

&& Math.abs(velocityX) > SWIPE_THRESHOLD_VELOCITY) {

Toast.makeText(MySample1Activity.this, "Right Swipe",

Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

}

} catch (Exception e) {

// nothing

}

return false;

}
