Question

I am using onFling in my views to get a swipe to next activity. However this does not work if the view has a scrollview surrounding it.

Apparently it absorbs the gestures and stops my onFling.

Is there anyway around this issue?

Check this piece of code: (Override ScrollView‘s dispatchTouchEvent)

public class yourScrollView extends ScrollView{

    //constructors and everything
    //You might want to pass your GestureDetector (of course)

    @Override
    public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev){
        super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev);    
        return myGestureDetector.onTouchEvent(ev); 
    }
}
