Question

I want to implement something like the Android Calendar week view, where you can move through the weeks — or like the Talk app, where you can switch between conversations. In other words, I want to be able to drag the views, not just swipe them.

The only thing that I seem to be able to do is to switch views (with a sliding animation) after the swipe action. In the two examples I mentioned, the views are actually dragged, i.e. the animation shows while moving your finger on the screen.

I’ve been going through the Calendar source, but the classes involved are so huge, I can’t make head nor tail of it.

Has anyone done something like this, or is there any (relatively concise) source available somewhere?

Cheers.

You should be using ViewPager from the android compatibility package.

This is a good place to start. This will do exactly what you want.
