Thanks to Code Shogun, whose code I adapted to my situation.
Let your activity implementOnClickListener
as usual:
public class SelectFilterActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
private static final int SWIPE_MIN_DISTANCE = 120;
private static final int SWIPE_MAX_OFF_PATH = 250;
private static final int SWIPE_THRESHOLD_VELOCITY = 200;
private GestureDetector gestureDetector;
View.OnTouchListener gestureListener;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
/* ... */
// Gesture detection
gestureDetector = new GestureDetector(this, new MyGestureDetector());
gestureListener = new View.OnTouchListener() {
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
return gestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event);
}
};
}
class MyGestureDetector extends SimpleOnGestureListener {
@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(SelectFilterActivity.this, "Left Swipe", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else if (e2.getX() - e1.getX() > SWIPE_MIN_DISTANCE && Math.abs(velocityX) > SWIPE_THRESHOLD_VELOCITY) {
Toast.makeText(SelectFilterActivity.this, "Right Swipe", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
// nothing
}
return false;
}
@Override
public boolean onDown(MotionEvent e) {
return true;
}
}
}
Attach your gesture listener to all the views you add to the main layout;
// Do this for each view added to the grid
imageView.setOnClickListener(SelectFilterActivity.this);
imageView.setOnTouchListener(gestureListener);
Watch in awe as your overridden methods are hit, both the onClick(View v)
of the activity and the onFling
of the gesture listener.
public void onClick(View v) {
Filter f = (Filter) v.getTag();
FilterFullscreenActivity.show(this, input, f);
}
The post 'fling' dance is optional but encouraged.
I discovered that this can all be done in one file fairly easily. Put something like the following code in a file named custom_button.xml
and then set background="@drawable/custom_button"
in your button view:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true" >
<shape>
<gradient
android:startColor="@color/yellow1"
android:endColor="@color/yellow2"
android:angle="270" />
<stroke
android:width="3dp"
android:color="@color/grey05" />
<corners
android:radius="3dp" />
<padding
android:left="10dp"
android:top="10dp"
android:right="10dp"
android:bottom="10dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:state_focused="true" >
<shape>
<gradient
android:endColor="@color/orange4"
android:startColor="@color/orange5"
android:angle="270" />
<stroke
android:width="3dp"
android:color="@color/grey05" />
<corners
android:radius="3dp" />
<padding
android:left="10dp"
android:top="10dp"
android:right="10dp"
android:bottom="10dp" />
</shape>
</item>

That is not how onLowMemory works. It will be called when the whole System runs low on memory, not your App, so you can't exactly avoid OOMs with it. More Details here.
