I tried to implement swipe functionality in my application and for that I created a class SwipeDetector
which implements OnTouchListener
.
Below is the code:
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnTouchListener;
public class SwipeDetector implements OnTouchListener {
public static enum Action {
LR, // Left to Right
RL, // Right to Left
TB, // Top to bottom
BT, // Bottom to Top
None, // when no action was detected
Click
}
private static final String logTag = "SwipeDetector";
private static final int MIN_DISTANCE = 100;
private float downX, downY, upX, upY;
private Action mSwipeDetected = Action.None;
public boolean swipeDetected() {
return mSwipeDetected != Action.None;
}
public Action getAction() {
return mSwipeDetected;
}
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
switch (event.getAction()) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN: {
downX = event.getX();
downY = event.getY();
mSwipeDetected = Action.None;
// Log.i(logTag, "Click On List" );
return false; // allow other events like Click to be processed
}
case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP: {
upX = event.getX();
upY = event.getY();
float deltaX = downX - upX;
float deltaY = downY - upY;
// horizontal swipe detection
if (Math.abs(deltaX) > MIN_DISTANCE) {
// left or right
if (deltaX < 0) {
mSwipeDetected = Action.LR;
return false;
}
if (deltaX > 0) {
mSwipeDetected = Action.RL;
return false;
}
}
/*
* else
*
* // vertical swipe detection if (Math.abs(deltaY) > MIN_DISTANCE)
* { // top or down if (deltaY < 0) { Log.i(logTag,
* "Swipe Top to Bottom"); mSwipeDetected = Action.TB; return false;
* } if (deltaY > 0) { Log.i(logTag, "Swipe Bottom to Top");
* mSwipeDetected = Action.BT; return false; } }
*/
mSwipeDetected = Action.Click;
return false;
}
}
return false;
}
}
In onCreateView
method of fragment in which you want to add swipe action, implement SwipeDetector
by setting it in setOnTouchListener
method of view.
Like this:
SwipeDetector swipeDetector = new SwipeDetector();
view.setOnTouchListener(swipeDetector);
if (swipeDetector.getAction() == Action.LR) {
//Do some action
}
