Question

I am trying to get position inside a fling for a listview. No matter what item I fling on, I get -1 return value. I verified that the x,y coordinates from the event are fine. Any ideas on why that might be happening?

Here is my code:

   super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
   setContentView(R.layout.application_list_view);
   listView = getListView();


                int x = (int)(e1.getX());
                int y = (int)(e1.getY());
                int pos = (int) listView.pointToPosition(x, y);

Thanks for help.

I think you’re missing code to setup the gesture listener and fling event handler. You’ll be able to get the position when you’re handling the event, not on create.
