Android Code Works On 2.3 But Not On 4.0

Question

I have written the following code designed for API version 2.3.3 minimum and works fine on an emulator designed for that. I have just tried testing the same code on API 4.0 and the onFling gestures I've implemented to control the app don't work. They don't even seem to be called.

Here is the code.

package com.mystraldesign.memorable;

import java.io.IOException;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Typeface;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.text.ClipboardManager;
import android.view.GestureDetector;
import android.view.GestureDetector.OnDoubleTapListener;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.Window;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;
import com.mystraldesign.memorable.PassGen;

public class MemorableActivity extends Activity implements android.view.GestureDetector.OnGestureListener,OnDoubleTapListener  
{
    //Define text views
    private TextView textView1;
    private TextView textView2;
    private TextView textView3;
    private TextView textView4;

    //Previous password holder
    private String prevPass;

    //Gesture Detectors
    private GestureDetector gTap; 

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        gTap  = new GestureDetector(this,(android.view.GestureDetector.OnGestureListener) this);

        //Remove title bar
        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);




        //Define textView
        textView1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
        textView2 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView2);
        textView3 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView3);
        textView4 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView4);

        //Load font file
        Typeface type = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"fonts/optima.ttf"); 

        //Set various textViews to font
        textView1.setTypeface(type);
        textView2.setTypeface(type);
        textView3.setTypeface(type);
        textView4.setTypeface(type);

        prevPass = "Memorable";

    }



    //Password call
    public void newPass()
    {
        //Store Return
        String retn = "";
        PassGen passWord = new PassGen();


        //Generate password
        try 
        {
            retn = passWord.passwordGen(this);
        } 
        catch (IOException e) 
        {

            //Message about Error
            Context context = getApplicationContext();
            CharSequence text = "Ooops Something Went Wrong!";
            int duration = Toast.LENGTH_SHORT;

            //Display message
            Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, text, duration);
            toast.show();

            textView1.setText("Memorable");


            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        //Update prevPass
        prevPass = textView1.getText().toString();

        textView1.setText(retn);
    }

    public boolean onDoubleTap(MotionEvent e) {

     return false;
    }

    //Method to copy password
    public boolean onDoubleTapEvent(MotionEvent e) {

        //clipboard shite
        ClipboardManager clipboard = (ClipboardManager) getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE); 
        clipboard.setText(textView1.getText());

        //Message about coping
        Context context = getApplicationContext();
        CharSequence text = "Password has been copied to clipboard.";
        int duration = Toast.LENGTH_SHORT;

        //Display message
        Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, text, duration);
        toast.show();

      return false;
    }



    public boolean onSingleTapConfirmed(MotionEvent e) {

     return false;
    }





}

The console keeps saying it fails to install but it appears on emulator and runs. The same happens when testing on an actual 4.0 device.

EDITED:

It now runs and installs on all AVD's (2.3.3 - 4.0) but the gestures still only work on 2.3.3

Answer 1

It appears to error of gesture not being recognised was due to me using velocity to determine movement but it is finer controlled on Android 4.0 so was never hitting the velocityX = 0 condition.

Answer 2

I have few suggestions for you,

1) You first open your avd and wait until its get loaded completely and then run your apk.

2) change your setContentView(tv); by this.setContentView(tv);

3) close/delete your other old AVD

4) If you got device with you, Test on it..
